A Comparative Study of Ratio in Proton-Proton Collisions at Different Energies: Experimental Results versus Model Simulation

摘要

A detailed study of energy dependence of , and total kaon to pion multiplicity ratio has been carried out in proton-proton (pp) collisions at , 17.3, 62.4, 200, and 900?GeV and also at ?TeV and 7?TeV in the framework of UrQMD and DPMJET III model. Dependence of and on energy shows different behavior for UrQMD and DPMJET III model. The presence of the horn-like structure in the variation of and with energy for the experimental data is supported by the DPMJET III model. Experimentally it has been observed that as energy increases, the total kaon to pion multiplicity ratio increases systematically for pp collisions at lower energies and becomes independent of energy in LHC energy regime. Our analysis on total kaon to pion multiplicity ratio with UrQMD data is well supported by the experimental results obtained by different collaborations in different times. In case of DPMJET III data, the saturation of ratio at LHC region has not been observed.
