The transverse momentum distributions of various hadrons produced in most central Pb+Pb collisions at LHC energy Root(s_NN) = 2.76 TeV have been studied using our earlier proposed unified statistical thermal freeze-out model. The calculated results are found to be in good agreement with the experimental data measured by the ALICE experiment. The model calculation fits provide the thermal freeze-out conditions in terms of the temperature and collective flow effect parameters for different particle species. Interestingly the model parameter fits reveal a strong collective flow in the system which appears to be a consequence of the increasing particle density at LHC. The model used incorporates a longitudinal as well as transverse hydrodynamic flow. The chemical potential has been assumed to be nearly equal to zero for the bulk of the matter owing to a high degree of nuclear transparency effect at such energies. The contributions from heavier decay resonances are also taken into account in our calculations.

An overview is presented of transverse momentum distributions of particles at the LHC using the Tsallis distribution. The use of a thermodynamically consistent form of this distribution leads to an excellent description of charged and identified particles. The values of the Tsallis parameter q are truly remarkably consistent.
In order to characterize the transverse momentum spectra of positive pions measured in the ALICE experiment, two thermal approaches are utilized; one is based on degeneracy of non-perfect Bose-Einstein gas and the other imposes an {it ad-hoc} finite pion-chemical potential. The inclusion of missing haron states and the out-of-chemical equilibrium greatly contribute to the excellent characterization of pion production. The excellent reproduction of the experimental data can be understood as a manifestation of not-yet-regarded anomalous pion-production, which likely contribute to the long-standing debate on the {it anomalous} proton-to-pion ratios at top RHIC and LHC energies.
Transverse momentum spectra of protons and anti-protons from RHIC ($sqrt{s}$ = 62 and 200 GeV) and LHC experiments ($sqrt{s}$= 0.9 and 7 TeV) have been considered. The data are fitted in the low $p_T$ region with the universal formula that includes the value of exponent slope as a main parameter. It is seen that the slope of low-$p_T$ distributions is changing with energy. This effect impacts on the energy dependence of average transverse momenta, which behaves approximately as $s^{0.06}$ that is similar to the previously observed behavior for $Lambda^0$-baryon spectra. In addition, the available data on $Lambda_c$ production from LHCb at $sqrt{s}= 7$ TeV were also studied. The estimated average $<p_T>$ is bigger than this value for protons proportionally to masses. The preliminary dependence of hadron average transverse momenta on their masses at LHC energy is presented.
Transverse momentum dependent (TMD) distributions at small x exhibit a rich infinite twist structure that encompasses the leading twist (partonic) distributions as well as the physics of gluon saturation. Progress to further the connection between the standard TMD framework at moderate x and small x has been recently made. In this context, we show that light cone Wilson line operators at small-x can be formulated in terms of transverse gauge links. This new formulation of small x operators allows a direct matching with the standard leading twist gluon TMD distributions and provides an efficient and general prescription for computing TMD distributions at small x beyond leading twist.
We present a study of transverse momentum ($p_{T}$) spectra of unidentified charged particles in pp collisions at RHIC and LHC energies from $sqrt{s}$ = 62.4 GeV to 13 TeV using Tsallis/Hagedorn function. The power law of Tsallis/Hagedorn form gives excellent description of the hadron spectra in $p_{T}$ range from 0.2 to 300 GeV/$c$. The power index $n$ of the $p_T$ distributions is found to follow a function of the type $a+b/sqrt {s}$ with asymptotic value $a = 5.72$. The parameter $T$ governing the soft bulk contribution to the spectra remains almost same over wide range of collision energies. We also provide a Tsallis/Hagedorn fit to the $p_{T}$ spectra of hadrons in pPb and different centralities of PbPb collisions at $sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 5.02 TeV. The data/fit shows deviations from the Tsallis distribution which become more pronounced as the system size increases. We suggest simple modifications in the Tsallis/Hagedorn power law function and show that the above deviations can be attributed to the transverse flow in low $p_T$ region and to the in-medium energy loss in high $p_T$ region.
