ABSTRACT
The particle production in hadron-nucleon (h-N),
hadron-nucleus (h-A) and nucleus-nucleus (A-A)
collisions at high energies are studied in view of
the multi-peripheral model. A multi-peripheral
T-matrix element is assumed with multi surface
parameter that is functionally dependent on the
number of particles in the final state and control
the kinematical path of the reaction. A Monte
Carlo code is designed to simulate events ac-
cording to a hypothetical model, the quark
structure of the interacting nucleons is consid-
ered. The number of possible nucleon collisions
inside the target nucleus plays an important role
in folding the (h-N) to generate the (h-A) and
(A-A) collisions. The predictions of the model
give reasonable agreement with the recently
examined experimental data.

1. INTRODUCTION
In the last few years, research work has been concen-
trated on the possible existence of the quark-gluon
plasma phase, considering of unconfined quarks and
gluons at high temperature or high density. In the labo-
ratory, nucleus-nucleus collisions at very high energies
provide a promising way to produce high temperature or
high-density matter. As estimated by Bajorken [1] the
energy density can be so high that these reactions might
be utilized to explore the existence of the quark-gluon
plasma. One of the many factors that lead to an optimis-
tic assessment that matter at high density and high tem-
perature may be produced with nucleus-nucleus colli-
sions is the occurrence of multiple collisions. By this we
mean, a nucleon of one nucleus may collide with many
nucleons in the other and deposit a large amount of en-
ergy in the collision region. In the nucleon-nucleon cen-
ter of mass system, the longitudinal inter-nucleon spac-
ing between target nucleons is Lorentz contracted and
can be smaller than 1 fm in high-energy collisions. On
the other hand, particle production occurs only when a
minimum distance of about 1 fm separates the leading
quark and antiquark in the nucleon-nucleon center of
mass system [2,3]. Therefore when the projectile nu-
cleon collides with many target nucleons, particle pro-
duction arising from the first N-N collision is not fin-
ished before the collision of the projectile with another
target nucleon begins. There are models [4-11] that de-
scribe how the second collision is affected by the first
one. Nevertheless, the fundamental theory of doing that
remains one of the unsolved problems. Experimental
data suggest that after the projectile nucleon makes a
collision, the projectile-like object that emerges from the
first collision appears to continue to collide with other
nucleons in the target nucleus on its way through the
target nucleus. In each collision the object that emerges
along the projectile nucleon direction has a net baryon
number of unity because of the conservation of the
baryon number. One can speak loosely of this object as
the projectile or baryon-like object and can describe the
multiple collision process in terms of the projectile nu-
cleon making many collisions with the target nucleons.
Then, losing energy and momentum in the process, and
emerging from the other side of the target with a much
diminished energy. The number of collisions depends on
the thickness of the target nucleus. Experimental evi-
dence of occurrence of multiple collision process can be
best illustrated with the data of p-A reactions in the pro-
jectile fragmentation region [3,12]. In the present work,
we shall investigate the particle production mechanism
in heavy ion collision by introducing the multi- periph-
eral model [13-16,18] which is based on the phase space
integral to describe the multi-particle production in the
Hadron-Hadron, Hadron-Nucleus and Nucleus-Nucleus
interaction at different energies. In this technique the
many body system is expanded into subsystems, each
one concerns a two body collision where we have used
the matrix element of the multi-peripheral nature whose

parameters are strongly correlated to the final state mul-
tiplicity. The simplified quark-quark interaction picture
is considered to improve the results; we suppose that all
the quarks which constitute the hadrons contribute in the
reaction. It is assumed that each Hadron in the final state
is produced at the specific peripheral surface that is
characterized by a peripheral parameter.
2. THE MULTI-PERIPHERAL MODEL
We start with the initial single state of center of mass
energy s, let us denote by i
t the square of the
4-vectore momentum transferred from the particle a
p
of mass ma to the system of 4-momenta 1n
k with mass
1n
M. This will reduce the many body problem into
1n iterative diagram, each of them has only two par-
ticles in the final state. For example, the ith diagram has
two in the final state, the first one is the particle number
1n, and the other has an effective mass i
M, equiva-
lent to the rest of the i particles of the system. The gen-
eral expression for i
t in the center of mass frame of
Ki+1 is Kinematically calculated as,

their minute constituent quarks. Neglecting the spin ef-
fect of the quark and considering, for example, πp, sys-
tem as two bags containing, respectively, two and three
quarks each of effective mass q
m, we assume that the
reaction goes through one of the following channels:
1) One of the projectile quarks interacts with one of
the target quarks. We use the symbols () and
() to describe the two states of the first channel.
The number of possible permutation of these states is 3.
2) In the second channel, the two projectile quarks
may interact with the three target quarks in a collective
manner. This state is symbolized by () with
only one possible permutations. The square of the cen-
ter-of-mass energy of each state is calculated according
to;

where a
N and b
N are the number of quarks partici-
pating in the reaction from the target and projectile, re-
spectively; q
m is the effective quark mass and q
e is
the laboratory energy per quark. The multiplicity distri-
bution )(nF of an n-particle system is calculated in
terms of the distribution functions of the different states
of the reaction. For our example case (π p-system), let us
assume that )(
11 nf and )(
12 nf represent the phase
space integrals of the state () and () for
the first channel, so that the distribution of the first
channel is obtained by a restricted superposition of the

2.1.1. Hadron-Nucleus Collision
On extending the model to the hadron-nucleus or nu-
cleus-nucleus collision, we follow the NN-base super
position as expected from the features of the experimen-
tal data. We should consider the possible interactions
with the nucleons forming the target nucleus t
A. The
incident hadron makes successive collisions inside the
target. The energy of the incident hadron (leading parti-
cle) slows down after each collision, producing a num-
ber of created hadrons each time which depends on the
available energy. The phase space integral In

case has the form;

conserve the number of particles in the final state. All

This approach was then worked out by putting the
multi-dimension integration of Eq.16 and the generated
kinematical variables into a Monte-Carlo program which
was created by the author. This in turn is restored ν
times, where ν is the number of collisions inside the tar-
get nucleus that is generated by a Monte-Carlo Genera-
tor according to the probability distribution Eq.29. In the
first one, the incident hadron has its own incident energy
and moves parallel to the collision axis (0)( 0
axisZ .
The output of the program determines the number of
created hadrons 1
n as well as the energy )( 01 EE
and the direction 1

particle leads the reaction in its second round with 1

cording to a multiplicity generator which depends on the

3. NUCLEUS-NUCLEUS COLLISIONS
The extension of the multi peripheral model to the nu-
cleus-nucleus case is more complicated. The number of
available collisions is multi-folded due to the contribu-
tion of the projectile nucleons. By analogy of the AN

4. THEORETICAL CALCULATION
4.1. The Multi-Peripheral Parameters i
a
with n Particle Final State
The values of the multi-peripheral parameters i
a play
an important role in the calculation of the phase space
integrals and the inclusive cross sections. The multi-
peripheral parameters carry all the dynamical effects that
control the geometrical and kinematical behavior of the
reactions. The values of i
a are considered as fitting
parameters and are determined to conserve the total en-
ergy in the center of mass of the reaction [17]. Taking all
possible configurations (pairing) of quark combinations
as described in Subsection 2.1.
Referring to equations Eq.12 and Eq.13 we find that
the parameter n
a, plays the effective role in the dy-
namic matrix element which controls the generation
process of the events according to the assumed number
of produced particles b
n and the square of the available
energy in the center of mass s. The parameter n
a is
just a fitting parameter in the simulation process. Its
value is to conserve the energy in the generator G(n).

In Figure 4 we display the values of the multi-pe-
ripheral parameters an as a function of number of created
particles n in the final state at different center of mass
energies, s = 5,8,10,20,30,50 GeV, for different con-
figurations of participating nucleons from projectile n
a
and target b
n. In all cases the value of an increases in
general with n and s. The relation of an with n and
s is parameterized in a polynomial form to speed up
the simulation process of the generator.
A Monte-Carlo code is designed to generate (pp)
events at incident energies of 8.8, 102 and 400 GeV.
Figure 3 shows the flow chart of the code generators.
We start with the initial incident energy. The projectile
and target protons consist of 3-quarks for each. The fol-
lowing generators are considered:
1) -Impact parameter generator G(b) to generate the
value of the impact parameter according to simple geo-
metrical aspects.
2) -Specifying the target and projectile number of
quark participating in the collision according to the im-
pact parameter value.
3) -Multiplicity Generator G(n) to generate the num-
ber of particles in the final state.
4) -The kinematics generator G(k) to generate particle
kinematics in the final state according to the Feynman
binary diagram Figure 2.
5) -Combining the possible number of quarks that
participate in the reaction
6) -Storing the kinematical data in multi-channels of
momentum-angular and energy spaces.
7) -END.
In dealing with the proton-nucleus (pA) and the nu-
cleus-nucleus (AA) collisions we considered the
Monte-Carlo code of (pp) as a subroutine in a more
general code. It is assumed that a number of ν-binary
collisions of (pp) type would be carried out inside the
(pA) or (AA) collision. Consequently, the pp code is
folded ν-times for each (AA) event. The number ν de-
pends mainly upon the effective target mass at the
considered impact parameter.

The Monte-Carlo code is run to the case of p-C col-
lision at 200 GeV. All possible values of a projectile
nucleon participant in the reaction are considered. The
case of 1
p
n and 1
t
n refers to the single nu-
cleon-nucleon collision. It rather happened for the con-
ditions of peripheral interactions. As collision orients
towards the central collision, more target nucleons
contribute to the reaction. Figure 5(a) Shows that the
shower particle production (created particles) increases
with increasing the number of target participant nu-
cleons; where the available center of mass energy in-
creases. The multiplicity distribution of the shower
created particles may fit a Gaussian distribution, the
peak and the dispersion of which shifts forward as t
n
increases. The contribution of each t
n value has a
certain weight factor that is related to the impact pa-
rameter weight. Averaging over all possible values of
the impact parameters results in the overall multiplic-
ity distribution that is displayed in Figure 5(b). It was
found that the average value of the charged particle
multiplicity is 4.35 and the dispersion is 1.37557 for
the p-C interaction at 200 GeV. The same procedure is
carried out for the He-Be interaction as an example of
(AA) collision at the same incident energy for the sake
of comparison. In this case both the number of projec-
tile and target participant nucleons p
n and t
n have
appreciable effect in shaping the charged particle multi-
plicity distributions. The number p
n plays the role of
multiplication factor in the production process.
In Figure 6 we demonstrate the family of curves rep-
resenting the results of multiplicity distributions for the
case where all projectile nucleons participate the reac-
tion 4

n while parts of the target contribute as t
n =
4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.
5. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The numerical computation of the charged and negative
charged multiplicity distribution of the outgoing parti-
cles in (p-p) interactions at 8.8 GeV Figure 7, 102 GeV
Figure 8, 400 GeV Figure 9, (p-d) interaction at 28 GeV
Figure 10 and (He-He) interaction at 120 Gev Figure 11
are calculated. A Monte-Carlo program designed by the
authors is used to simulate about 1000 events for each
final state of specific n-values. The multi-peripheral ma-
trix element is used according to Eq.12 to calculate the
phase space integral and the production cross section.
The cut-off boundaries
i
t of the physical region is
used according to Eq.22.
The proposed model is a statistical model in its nature.
It assumes a large phase space and consequently large
number of quantum states to work in a relevant envi-
ronment.
Figures 7-11 show that the prediction of the model
comes closer to the experimental data as simple as in-
creasing both the available energy and the number of
interacting particles (the size of the target and the pro-
jectile nuclei) that meets with the increase of the volume
of phase space.
Table 1 shows the Chi-square values for the reaction
under consideration to test the validity or the behavior of
the model against the projectile-target size and the en-
ergy of the reaction.

5. CONCLUSIONS
The multi-peripheral model is extended to the nu-
cleon-nucleus and the nucleus-nucleus interaction on the
basis of nucleon-nucleon collisions, where the phase
space integral of the nucleon-nucleon and nucleus-nu-
cleus interaction is folded several times according to the
number of encountered nucleons from the target. The
number of created particles in each collision is summed
over to get the production in the nucleon-nucleon case,
where the conservation of number of particles in the
final state is taken into consideration. The inclusive
cross section is calculated and showed a fair agreement
with experimental data.
