Rapidity Spectra of the Secondaries Produced in Heavy Ion Collisions and the Constituent Picture of the Particles

Abstract

The present study is both a reanalysis and an extension of the approach initiated by Eremin and Voloshin(referenced in the text). We attempt to interpret here the rapidity-spectra of the various particles produced in both $Pb+Pb$ and $Au+Au$ collisions at CERN-SPS and RHIC-BNL. The study made here is wider in scope and is more species-specific than the earlier ones for which the results obtained here have been compared with those suggested by some previous works based on HIJING, VENUS etc, at various centralities. The study reconfirms that the constituent parton picture of the particles provides a better and more unified description of the rapidity-density yields for the various secondaries, including some light cluster particles like deuteron even in heavy ion collisions.
