In the present work, we study the recent collision energy and multiplicity dependence of the charged particle transverse momentum spectra as measured by the ALICE collaboration in $pp$ collisions at $sqrt{s}$ = 5.02 and 13 TeV using the non-extensive Tsallis distribution and the Boltzmann-Gibbs Blast Wave (BGBW) model. A thermodynamically consistent form of the Tsallis distribution is used to extract the kinetic freeze-out parameters from the transverse momentum spectra of charged particles at mid-rapidity. In addition, a comprehensive study of fitting range dependence of transverse momentum spectra on the freeze-out parameters is done using Tsallis statistics. The applicability of BGBW model is verified by fitting the transverse momentum spectra of the bulk part ($sim 2.5~ {rm GeV}/c$)for both 5.02 and 13 TeV energies and also in different multiplicity classes. The radial flow, $<beta>$ is almost independent of collision energy and multiplicity whereas the behavior of kinetic freeze-out temperature significantly depends on multiplicity classes. It is found that the Tsallis distribution generally leads to a better description for the complete transverse momentum spectra whereas the BGBW model explains the bulk part of the system.

We study the charged particle and transverse energy production mechanism from AGS, SPS, RHIC to LHC energies in the framework of nucleon and quark participants. At RHIC and LHC energies, the number of nucleons-normalized charged particle and transverse energy density in pseudorapidity, which shows a monotonic rise with centrality, turns out to be an almost centrality independent scaling behaviour when normalized to the number of participant quarks. A universal function which is a combination of logarithmic and power-law, describes well the charged particle and transverse energy production both at nucleon and quark participant level for the whole range of collision energies. Energy dependent production mechanisms are discussed both for nucleonic and partonic level. Predictions are made for the pseudorapidity densities of transverse energy, charged particle multiplicity and their ratio (the barometric observable, $frac{dE_{rm{T}}/deta}{dN_{rm{ch}}/deta} ~equiv frac{E_{rm{T}}}{N_{rm{ch}}}$) at mid-rapidity for Pb+Pb collisions at $sqrt{s_{rm{NN}}}=5.5$ TeV. A comparison with models based on gluon saturation and statistical hadron gas is made for the energy dependence of $frac{E_{rm{T}}}{N_{rm{ch}}}$.
We study the effect of strong longitudinal color fields (SCF) in p+p reactions up to Large Hadron Collider energies in the framework of the HIJING/BBbar v2.0 model that combines (collinear factorized) pQCD multiple minijet production with soft longitudinal string excitation and hadronization. The default vacuum string tension, kappa0 = 1 GeV/fm, is replaced by an effective power law energy dependent string tension, that increases monotonically with center-of-mass energy. The exponent 0.06 is found sufficient to reproduce well the energy dependence of multiparticle observables in RHIC, Tevatron, as well as recent LHC data. This exponent is found to be only half of that predicted by the Color Glass Saturation model, lambda(CGC)=0.115, where gluon fusion multiparticle production mechanisms are assumed. In HIJING/BBbar v2.0, the rapid growth of central-rapidity density with energy is due to the interplay of copious minijet production and increasing SCF contributions. The large (strange)baryon-to-meson ratios measured at Tevatron energies are well described. A significant enhancement of these ratios is predicted up to the highest LHC energy (14 TeV). The effect of JJbar loops and SCF on baryon-anti-baryon asymmetry and its relation to baryon number transport is also discussed.
Hadronic resonances, having very short lifetime, like $rm{K}^{*0}$, can act as useful probes to understand and estimate lifetime of hadronic phase in ultra-relativistic proton-proton, p--Pb and heavy-ion collisions. Resonances with relatively longer lifetime, like $phi$ meson, can serve as a tool to locate the QGP phase boundary. We estimate a lower limit of hadronic phase lifetime in Cu--Cu and Au--Au collisions at RHIC, and in pp, p--Pb and Pb--Pb collisions at different LHC collision energies. Also, we obtain the effective temperature of $phi$ meson using Boltzmann-Gibbs Blast-Wave function, which gives an insight to locate the QGP phase boundary. We observe that the hadronic phase lifetime strongly depends on final state charged-particle multiplicity, whereas the QGP phase and hence the QCD phase boundary shows a very weak multiplicity dependence. This suggests that the hadronisation from a QGP state starts at a similar temperature irrespective of charged-particle multiplicity, collision system and collision energy, while the endurance of hadronic phase is strongly dependent on final state charge-particle multiplicity, system size and collision energy.
The high-multiplicity pp collisions at the Large Hadron Collider energies with various heavy-ion-like signatures have warranted a deeper understanding of the underlying physics and particle production mechanisms. It is a common practice to use experimental data on the hadronic transverse momentum ($p_T$) spectra to extract thermodynamical properties of the system formed in heavy ion and high multiplicity pp collisions. The non-availability of event topology dependent experimental data for pp collisions at $sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV on the spectra of non-strange and strange hadrons constrains us to use the PYTHIA8 simulated numbers to extract temperature-like parameters to study the event shape and multiplicity dependence of specific heat capacity, conformal symmetry breaking measure (CSBM) and speed of sound. The observables show a clear dependence on event multiplicity and event topology. Thermodynamics of the system is largely governed by the light particles because of their relatively larger abundances. In this regards, a threshold in the particle production, $rm N_{ch} simeq$ (10-20) in the final state multiplicity emerges out from the present study, confirming some of the earlier findings in this direction. As for heavier hadrons with relatively small abundances, a similar threshold is observed for $langle rm N_{ch} rangle simeq$ 40 hinting towards formation of a thermal bath where all the heavier hadrons are in equilibrium.
The hypothesis of limiting fragmentation (LF) or it is called otherwise recently, as extended longitudinal scaling, is an interesting phenomena in high energy multiparticle production process. This paper discusses about different regions of phase space and their importance in hadron production, giving special emphasis on the fragmentation region. Although it was conjectured as a universal phenomenon in high energy physics, with the advent of higher center-of-mass energies, it has become prudent to analyse and understand the validity of such hypothesis in view of the increasing inelastic nucleon-nucleon cross-section ($sigma_{rm in}$). In this work, we revisit the phenomenon of limiting fragmentation for nucleus-nucleus (A+A) collisions in the pseudorapidity distribution of charged particles at various energies. We use energy dependent $sigma_{rm in}$ to transform the charged particle pseudorapidity distributions ($dN^{rm AA}_{ch}/deta$) into differential cross-section per unit pseudorapidity ($dsigma^{rm AA}/deta$) of charged particles and study the phenomenon of LF. We find that in $dsigma^{rm AA}/deta$ LF seems to be violated at LHC energies while considering the energy dependent $sigma_{rm in}$. We also perform a similar study using A Multi-Phase Transport (AMPT) Model with string melting scenario and also find that LF is violated at LHC energies.
