We study the recent PHOBOS data on the pseudorapidity density of inclusive charged particles in centrality-binned d+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV. It appears that one can understand the increasing forward-backward asymmetry in the data by assuming that the entire distribution shifts backwards in rapidity according to the initial-state kinematics, while the total multiplicity scales linearly with Npart/2. Two models are explored, both of which achieve a reasonable description of the available data for rapidities sufficiently far from the pro jectiles (|eta|< 3 at the top RHIC energy). One model uses PYTHIA as the underlying distribution, to allow a straightforward mapping of a rapidity shift back to pseudorapidity space. The other model is a simple analytic calculation based on functions inspired by Landaus hydrodynamical model. The apparent success of these simple pictures to describe the bulk of particle production over |eta|< 3 suggests that collective effects may be present even in the small systems created in p+p and d+Au reactions, active over the full rapidity range. The relationship between this and other theoretical approaches are discussed.

The pseudorapidity distributions of charged particles measured in p+p($rm overline{p}$) collisions for energies ranging from $sqrt{s_{NN}}=23.6$ GeV to 13 TeV, d+Au collisions at $sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV, p+Pb collisions at $sqrt{s_{NN}}= 5.02$ TeV and A+A collisions at RHIC and LHC are investigated in the fireball model with Tsallis thermodynamics. We assume that the rapidity axis is populated with fireballs following q-Gaussian distribution and the charged particles follow the Tsallis distribution in the fireball. The theoretical results are in good agreement with the experimental data for all the collision systems and centralities investigated. The collision energy and centrality dependence of the central position $y_0$ and its width $sigma$ of the fireball distribution are also investigated. A possible application of the model to predict the charged particle pseudorapidity distributions for the system size scan program proposed recently for the STAR experiment at RHIC is proposed.
Pseudorapidity distributions of charged particles emitted in $Au+Au$, $Cu+Cu$, $d+Au$, and $p+p$ collisions over a wide energy range have been measured using the PHOBOS detector at RHIC. The centrality dependence of both the charged particle distributions and the multiplicity at midrapidity were measured. Pseudorapidity distributions of charged particles emitted with $|eta|<5.4$, which account for between 95% and 99% of the total charged-particle emission associated with collision participants, are presented for different collision centralities. Both the midrapidity density, $dN_{ch}/deta$, and the total charged-particle multiplicity, $N_{ch}$, are found to factorize into a product of independent functions of collision energy, $sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}$, and centrality given in terms of the number of nucleons participating in the collision, $N_{part}$. The total charged particle multiplicity, observed in these experiments and those at lower energies, assumes a linear dependence of $(ln s_{_{NN}})^2$ over the full range of collision energy of $sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}$=2.7-200 GeV.
The production at central rapidity of K0s, Lambda, Xi and Omega particles in Pb-Pb collisions at 158 A GeV/c has been measured by the NA57 experiment over a centrality range corresponding to the most central 53% of the inelastic Pb-Pb cross section. In this paper we present the rapidity distribution of each particle in the central rapidity unit as a function of the event centrality. The distributions are analyzed based on hydrodynamical models of the collisions.
Measurements of identified single particle distributions in d+Au collisions at snn = 200 GeV at the RHIC collider are described. The dependence of these distributions on the centrality of the collisions, as well as the rapidity of the detected particles are emphasized in this report.
We present the centrality dependent measurement of multiplicity and pseudorapidity distributions of charged particles and photons in Au + Au collisions at sqrt{s_NN} = 62.4 GeV. The charged particles and photons are measured in the pseudorapidity region 2.9 < eta < 3.9 and 2.3 < eta < 3.7, respectively. We have studied the scaling of particle production with the number of participating nucleons and the number of binary collisions. The photon and charged particle production in the measured pseudorapidity range has been shown to be consistent with energy independent limiting fragmentation behavior. The photons are observed to follow a centrality independent limiting fragmentation behavior while for the charged particles it is centrality dependent. We have carried out a comparative study of the pseudorapidity distributions of positively charged hadrons, negatively charged hadrons, photons, pions, net protons in nucleus--nucleus collisions and pseudorapidity distributions from p+p collisions. From these comparisons we conclude that baryons in the inclusive charged particle distribution are responsible for the observed centrality dependence of limiting fragmentation. The mesons are found to follow an energy independent behavior of limiting fragmentation while the behavior of baryons seems to be energy dependent.
