Secondary hadron distributions in two component model

Abstract

Inclusive charged hadron cross sections, $d\sigma/d\eta$, and the mean transverse momenta, $<p_T>$, are considered within the two component model, which combines the power-like and the exponential terms in $p_T$. The observed dependences of the spectra shape on energy and the event multiplicity qualitatively agree with that expected from the Regge theory with the perturbative QCD pomeron. Finally, the dependences observed are used to make predictions on the mean transverse momenta, $<p_T>$ as function of multiplicity at LHC-energies, which are tested on available experimental data.
