Search for z-scaling violation in p-p and p-A collisions at high energies

Abstract

New analysis of experimental data on hadron (pi, K, barp) production in p-p and p-D collisions at high-pT in z-presentation is performed. Data on inclusive cross sections of cumulative particles produced in backward hemisphere in p-A collisions are analyzed as well. The scaling function for nuclear targets (Li, Be, C, Al, Cu and Ta) are constructed and compared with high-pT data z-presentation. The hypothesis on z-scaling violation as a signature of new physics phenomena is discussed.
