We analyze recent data on particle production yields obtained in p-p collisions at SPS and RHIC energies within the statistical model. We apply the model formulated in the canonical ensemble and focus on strange particle production. We introduce different methods to account for strangeness suppression effects and discuss their phenomenological verification. We show that at RHIC the midrapidity data on strange and multistrange particle multiplicity can be successfully described by the canonical statistical model with and without an extra suppression effects. On the other hand, SPS data integrated over the full phase-space require an additional strangeness suppression factor that is beyond the conventional canonical model. This factor is quantified by the strangeness saturation parameter or strangeness correlation volume. Extrapolating all relevant thermal parameters from SPS and RHIC to LHC energy we present predictions of the statistical model for particle yields in p-p collisions at sqrt(s) = 14TeV. We discuss the role and the influence of a strangeness correlation volume on particle production in p-p collisions at LHC.

We calculate various azimuthal angle distributions for three jets produced in the forward rapidity region with transverse momenta $p_T>20,mathrm{GeV}$ in proton-proton (p-p) and proton-lead (p-Pb) collisions at center of mass energy $5.02,,mathrm{TeV }$. We use the multi-parton extension of the so-called small-$x$ Improved Transverse Momentum Dependent factorization (ITMD). We study effects related to change from the standard $k_T$-factorization to ITMD factorization as well as changes as one goes from p-p collision to p-Pb. We observe rather large differences in the distribution when we change the factorization approach, which allows to both improve the small-$x$ TMD gluon distributions as well as validate and improve the factorization approach. We also see significant depletion of the nuclear modification ratio, indicating a possibility of searches for saturation effects using trijet final states in a more exclusive way than for dijets.
We present theoretical model comparison with published ALICE results for D-mesons (D$^0$, D$^+$ and D$^{*+}$) in $p$+$p$ collisions at $sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV and $p$+Pb collisions at $sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 5.02 TeV. Event generator HIJING, transport calculation of AMPT and calculations from NLO(MNR) and FONLL have been used for this study. We found that HIJING and AMPT model predictions are matching with published D-meson cross-sections in $p$+$p$ collisions, while both under-predict the same in $p$+Pb collisions. Attempts were made to explain the $R_{pPb}$ data using NLO-pQCD(MNR), FONLL and other above mentioned models.
We discuss the production of $D$-mesons and $J/psi$ in high multiplicity proton-proton and proton-nucleus collisions within the Color-Glass-Condensate (CGC) framework. We demonstrate that the modification of the LHC data on $D$ and $J/psi$ yields in high multiplicity events relative to minimum bias events arise from a significant enhancement of the gluon saturation scales of the corresponding rare parton configurations in the colliding protons and nuclei. For a given event multiplicity, we predict these relative yields to be energy independent from $sqrt{s}=200$ GeV at RHIC to the highest LHC energies.
$J/psi$ production in p-p ultra-peripheral collisions through the elastic and inelastic photoproduction processes, where the virtual photons emitted from the projectile interact with the target, are studied. The comparisions between the exact treatme nt results and the ones of equivalent photon approximation are expressed as $Q^{2}$ (virtuality of photon), $z$ and $p_{T}$ distributions, and the total cross sections are also estimated. The method developed by Martin and Ryskin is employed to avoid double counting when the different production mechanism are considered simultaneously. The numerical results indicate that, the equivalent photon approximation can be only applied to the coherent or elastic electromagnetic process, the improper choice of $Q^{2}_{mathrm{max}}$ and $y_{mathrm{max}}$ will cause obvious errors. And the exact treatment is needed to deal accurately with the $J/psi$ photoproduction.
