Large Hadron Collider (LHC) had produced a vast amount of high precision data for high energy heavy ion collision. We attempt here to study (i) transverse momenta spectra, (ii) $K/\pi$, $p/\pi$ ratio behaviours, (iii)rapidity distribution, and (iv) the nuclear modification factors of the pion, kaon and antiproton produced in $p+p$ and $Pb+Pb$ collisions at energy $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 2.76 TeV, on the basis of Sequential Chain Model (SCM). Comparisons of the model-based results with the measured data on these observables are generally found to be modestly satisfactory., Comment: 11 pages, 2 tables, 5 figures

We attempt here to understand successfully some crucial aspects of $J/��$-production in some high energy nuclear collisions in the light of a non-standard framework outlined in the text. It is found that the results arrived at with this main working approach here is fairly in good agreement with both the measured data and the results obtained on the basis of some other models of the `standard' variety. Impact and implications of this comparative study have also been precisely highlighted in the end., 14 pages, 7 figures, to appear in Open Journal of Microphysics. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:0906.2612, arXiv:1110.5582, and overlap with arXiv:1103.6269, arXiv:1007.4513

We would attempt, in this work, at dwelling upon some crucial aspects of $J/��$-production in a few high energy nuclear collisions in the light of a non-standard model which is outlined in the text. The underlying physical ideas, assumptions and ansatzs have also been enunciated in some detail. It is found that the results arrived at with this main working approach here are fairly in good agreement with both the measured data and the results obtained on the basis of some other models of the `standard' variety. Impact and implications of this comparative study have also been precisely highlighted in the end., 8 pages, 7 figures

This study aims at understanding the nature of measured data on the rapidity spectra of some heavy baryons [$\Lambda$, $\Lambda$bar, $\Xi^-$ & $\Xi$bar$^+$] produced in the nuclear collisions at some modestly high energies. Furthermore, our objective is also to build up a comprehensive and consistent methodology to analyze the data on this specific observable which has a very important place in the domain of High Energy Physics (HEP). On an overall basis, our target here attains a moderate degree of success even for production of such rare secondaries. In addition to this, the limitations of such an approach have also been pointed out., Comment: 19 pages, 14 figures, Accepted for publication in IL Nuovo Cimento B

Experiments involving copper-copper collisions at the RHIC-BNL (USA) at energies $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 22.5, 62 and 200 GeV have produced a vast amount of high-precision data which are to be analysed in the light of various competing models in the domain of multiparicle production scenario. We have chosen to analyse here the measured data on the $p_T$ -spectra of various light and non-strange secondaries at various energies mentioned above, some of their very important ratio-behaviours at the various centralities of the collisions and the nuclear modification factors $R_{AA}$ and $R_{CP}$ 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. Besides, our obtained results have also been compared with results based upon two approaches with strong standard model flavour, of which one is purely pQCD-oriented and is forwarded by Vitev., 35 pages, 14 Figures, 4 Tables; Title, Abstract and the text changed; To appear in Il Nuovo Cimento B

Reliable data from the very recent high-precision measurements on the antiproton fluxes and the antiproton-to-proton ratios by the PAMELA Collaboration at relatively much higher energies are now available. The results with regard to antiproton production phenomena spring no special surprises; rather they are sharply in contrast with and contradiction to the case of positron production at the same energy-range. However, the totality of data on antiproton production from the past experiments to the very recent PAMELA outburst seem to be a very challenging exercise for interpretation in terms of the secondary production mechanisms alone, the galactic propagation model etc against the background of the `dark-matter'-related controversy. In the present work we assume the validity of the simple leaky box model, choose a simple particle production model and attempt at providing a comprehensive interpretation of the totality of data on both antiproton flux measurements and the $\overline{P}/P$ ratio-values for the various experiments ranging from BESS, CAPRICE to the latest PAMELA experiment. With the assumption of no contribution from the exotic sources to the antiproton production process, our model and the method describe the totality of the measured data with a fair degree of success., 16 Pages, 5 Figures.

We have attempted to develop here tentatively a model for $J/��$ production in p+p, d+Au, Cu + Cu and Au + Au collisions at RHIC energies on the basic ansatz that the results of nucleus-nucleus collisions could be arrived at from the nucleon-nucleon (p + p)-interactions with induction of some additional specific features of high energy nuclear collisions. Based on the proposed new and somewhat unfamiliar model, we have tried (i) to capture the properties of invariant $p_T$ -spectra for $J/��$ meson production; (ii) to study the nature of centrality dependence of the $p_T$ -spectra; (iii) to understand the rapidity distributions; (iv) to obtain the characteristics of the average transverse momentum $< p_T >$ and the values of $< p_T^2 >$ as well and (v) to trace the nature of nuclear modification factor. The alternative approach adopted here describes the data-sets on the above-mentioned various observables in a fairly satisfactory manner. And, finally, the nature of $J/��$-production at Large Hadron Collider(LHC)-energies deduced on the basis of our chosen model has been presented in a predictive way against the RHIC-yields, both calculated for the most central collisions and on the same model., 24 Pages, 14 Figures

The transverse momentum spectra of secondary $��$ particles produced in $P+P$, $D+Au$ and $Au+Au$ interactions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV at different centralities have been studied in the light of a non-extensive thermodynamical approach. The results and the possible thermodynamical insights, thus obtained, about the hadronizing process have also been discussed in detail., 16 pages, 7 figures; Accepted for publication in IJMPA
