Observation of $K/\pi$ and $p/\pi$ ratios behavior.

Evaluation of $<p_T>$-values in proton-proton collisions.

Abstract

From the very early days of Particle Physics, both experimental and theoretical studies on proton-proton collisions had occupied the center-stage of attention for very simple and obvious reasons. And this intense interest seems now to be at peak value with the onset of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)-studies at TeV ranges of energies. In this work, we have chosen to analyse the inclusive cross-sections, the rapidity density, the $K/\pi$ and $p/\pi$-ratio behaviours and the $<p_T>$-values, in the light of the Sequential Chain Model (SCM). And the limited successes of the model encourage us to take up further studies on several other aspects of topmost importance in particle physics with the same approach.
