The pseudorapidity density (dN/deta) for p+p, p+A and A+A(B) collisions, and the mean multiplicity <Nch> for ee, ep, and p+p collisions, are studied for an inclusive range of beam energies (Root_s). Characteristic scaling patterns are observed for both dN/deta and <Nch>, consistent with a thermal particle production mechanism for the bulk of the soft particles produced in all of these systems. They also validate an essential role for quark participants in these collisions. The scaled values for dN/deta and <Nch> are observed to factorize into contributions which depend on log(Root_s) and the number of nucleon or quark participant pairs (Npp). Quantification of these contributions give expressions which serve to systematize dN/deta and <Nch> measurements spanning nearly four orders of magnitude in Root_s, and to predict their values as a function of Root_s and Npp.

The E12-14-012 experiment, performed in Jefferson Lab Hall A, has collected exclusive electron-scattering data (e,e$^prime$p) in parallel kinematics using natural argon and natural titanium targets. Here, we report the first results of the analysis of the data set corresponding to beam energy of 2,222 MeV, electron scattering angle 21.5 deg, and proton emission angle -50 deg. The differential cross sections, measured with $sim$4% uncertainty, have been studied as a function of missing energy and missing momentum, and compared to the results of Monte Carlo simulations, obtained from a model based on the Distorted Wave Impulse Approximation.
New results are reported from a measurement of $pi^0$ electroproduction near threshold using the $p(e,e^{prime} p)pi^0$ reaction. The experiment was designed to determine precisely the energy dependence of $s-$ and $p-$wave electromagnetic multipoles as a stringent test of the predictions of Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT). The data were taken with an electron beam energy of 1192 MeV using a two-spectrometer setup in Hall A at Jefferson Lab. For the first time, complete coverage of the $phi^*_{pi}$ and $theta^*_{pi}$ angles in the $p pi^0$ center-of-mass was obtained for invariant energies above threshold from 0.5 MeV up to 15 MeV. The 4-momentum transfer $Q^2$ coverage ranges from 0.05 to 0.155 (GeV/c)$^2$ in fine steps. A simple phenomenological analysis of our data shows strong disagreement with $p-$wave predictions from ChPT for $Q^2>0.07$ (GeV/c)$^2$, while the $s-$wave predictions are in reasonable agreement.
Charged hadron production in the $e^{+}e^{-}$ annihilations at 91 to 206 GeV in full phase space and in $overline{p}p$ collisions at 200 to 900~GeV collision energies are studied using non-extensive Tsallis and stochastic Weibull probability distributions.~The Tsallis distribution shows better description of the data than the Weibull distribution. The 2-jet modification of the statistical distribution is applied to describe $e^{+}e^{-}$ data.~The main features of these distributions can be described by a two-component model with soft, collective interactions at low transverse energy and hard, constituent interactions dominating at high transverse energy.~This modification is found to give much better description than a full-sample fit, and again Tsallis function is found to better describe the data than the Weibull one pointing at the non-extensive character of the multiparticle production process.
We compiled the systematical measurements of anti-nucleus production in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions as well as those in $pp$, $pbar{p}$, $gamma p$ and $e^{+}e^{-}$ at various beam energies. The anti-baryon phase space density inferred from $bar{d}/bar{p}$ ratio in $A+A$, $p+A$, $pp(bar{p})$ and $gamma p$ collisions is found to follow a universal distribution as a function of center of mass of beam energy and can be described in a statistical model. We demonstrated that anti-baryon density in all the collisions is the highest when the collisions are dominated by the processes of $g+g$ or $bar{q}+g$. In $e^+e^-$ collisions at LEP, the cross section of $qbar{q}g$ is suppressed by a factor of strong coupling constant $alpha_s$ relative to $qbar{q}$. This can consistently explain the $bar{d}$ suppression observed by ALEPH relative to that in $e^+e^-to ggg$ by ARGUS. We discuss the implications to the baryon enhancement at high transverse momentum at RHIC when jet is quenched.
We report a measurement of $e^+e^-$ pairs from semileptonic heavy-flavor decays in $p$+$p$ collisions at $sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$~GeV. The $e^+e^-$ pair yield from $bbar{b}$ and $cbar{c}$ is separated by exploiting a double differential fit done simultaneously in dielectron invariant mass and $p_T$. We used three different event generators, {sc pythia}, {sc mc@nlo}, and {sc powheg}, to simulate the $e^+e^-$ spectra from $cbar{c}$ and $bbar{b}$ production. The data can be well described by all three generators within the detector acceptance. However, when using the generators to extrapolate to $4pi$, significant differences are observed for the total cross section. These difference are less pronounced for $bbar{b}$ than for $cbar{c}$. The same model dependence was observed in already published $d$+$A$ data. The $p$+$p$ data are also directly compared with $d$+$A$ data in mass and $p_T$, and within the statistical accuracy no nuclear modification is seen.
