Scaling behaviour of $dN/dy$ in high-energy collisions

Abstract

From a recently found family of analytic, finite and accelerating 1+1-dimensional solutions to perfect fluid relativistic hydrodynamics, we derive simple and powerful formulae to describe the rapidity and pseudorapidity density distributions. By introducing a new scaling function, we notice that the rapidity distribution data of the different experiments all collapse into a single curve. This data-collapsing (or scaling) behaviour in the rapidity distributions suggests that high-energy $p+p$ collisions may be described as collective systems.
