The Evolution-Dominated Hydrodynamic Model and the Pseudorapidity Distributions in High Energy Physics

Abstract

By taking into account the effects of leading particles, we discuss the pseudorapidity distributions of the charged particles produced in high energy heavy ion collisions in the context of evolution-dominated hydrodynamic model. The leading particles are supposed to have a Gaussian rapidity distribution normalized to the number of participants. A comparison is made between the theoretical results and the experimental measurements performed by BRAHMS and PHOBOS Collaboration at BNL-RHIC in Au-Au and Cu-Cu collisions at sNN=200 GeV and by ALICE Collaboration at CERN-LHC in Pb-Pb collisions at sNN=2.76 TeV.
