Multisource thermal model to the transverse momentum spectra in pp collisions at RHIC and LHC energies

Abstract

In this paper, an improved multi-source thermal model is used to analyze the transverse momentum spectra in $pp$ collisions at high energies ranging from $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 62.4 GeV to 7 TeV. We give a detailed comparison between the theoretical results and experimental data at RHIC and LHC energies. It is shown that the excitation factors of emission sources depend linearly on ln$\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ in the framework. Based on the variation regularity of the source-excitation factors, transverse momentum spectra are predicted in $pp$ collisions at higher energies, potential future $pp$ colliders operating at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 33 and 100 TeV.
