Particle Production in XeXe Collisions at the LHC within the Integrated Hydrokinetic Model⁺

Abstract

The paper is devoted to the theoretical study of particle production in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) Xe+Xe collisions at the energy s N N = 5 . 44 TeV. The description of common bulk observables, such as mean charged particle multiplicity, particle number ratios, and p T spectra, is obtained within the integrated hydrokinetic model, and the simulation results are compared to the corresponding experimental points. The comparison shows that the model is able to adequately describe the measured data for the considered collision type, similarly as for the cases of Pb+Pb LHC collisions and top Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) energy Au+Au collisions, analyzed in our previous works.
