Mid-rapidity dependence of hadron production in $p-p$ and $A-A$ collisions

Abstract

The calculation of inclusive spectra of pions produced in $pp$ and $AA$ collisions as a function of rapidity $y$ is presented within the self-similarity approach. It is shown that at not large rapidities $y$ one can obtain the analytical form of the self-similarity function $\Pi (y,p_t)$ dependent of $y$ and hadron transverse momentum $p_t$. A satisfactory description of data on the rapidity spectra at $|y|\le$ 0.3 is illustrated within a good agreement. The universal energy dependence of these spectra is also shown.
