- Description
- The firetube model of hadron-hadron collision process is extended to describe proton-nucleuns collisions at ultrarelativistic energies. According the model, nucleon-nucleon fire tubes created by the interaction between the nucleon projectile and the wounded target nucleons contribute additively for the energy density of a resultant effective firetube. We calculate the rapidity distributions for <math>\; \alpha -p</math> for <math>\sqrt{s_{nn}}=44 \ GeV</math> and for <math>\ p-Ar</math> and <math>\; p-Xe</math> at <math>200 \,\!</math> <math>GeV\,\!</math> incident energy. The results are in good agreement to the experimental data. We also discuss the possibility of applying the model to light nucleus-nucleus collisions and show the results for <math>\alpha - \alpha \,\!</math> a collision at <math>\sqrt{s_{nn}}=30 \ GeV</math>.
