Light Hadron Production in Proton-Proton Collisions at Different LHC Energies: Measured Data versus a Model

Abstract

Experiments involving proton-proton collisions at energies $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 0.9, 2.76 and 7 TeV in Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have produced a vast amount of high-precision data. Here, in this work, we have chosen to analyse the two aspects of the measured data, viz., (i) the $p_T$ -spectra of pions, kaons, proton-antiproton at above-mentioned energies, and (ii) some of their very important ratio-behaviours, in the light of a version of the Sequential Chain Model (SCM). The agreements between the measured data and model-based results are generally found to be modestly satisfactory.
