On some properties of Deuteron and Antideuteron production in high energy lead-lead collisions at 158A GeV

Abstract

We would attempt here to understand some properties of the transverse momentum ($p_T$) and rapidity ($y$) spectra on production of deuteron ($d$) and antideuteron($\overline{d}$) in lead-lead $(Pb+Pb)$ collisions at 158A GeV recently reported by NA49 collaboration. Starting from some basic properties of $p+p$ reactions for production of secondary proton-antiprotons the cases of production of the composite set of particles, like $d$ and $\overline{d}$, would be analysed. Some ratio-behaviours would also be dealt with in the light of the same approaches. It is found that the combination of the models put into use here capture modestly well the trends of the data on some important observables. Some limitations of the approach would also be pointed out in the end.
