Introduction Fritiof String interactionsˇ In Fritiof this was modelled by stretching out a string from each wounded nucleon with an invariant mass distributed as dm X / m X . Each string gives a flat rapidity distribution, so This gives F ( η ) ∼ η − η 0 . Note that there are no collective effects here. But nevertheless Fritiof reproduced most data: No conclusive evidence for QGP until the late nineties. Angantyr 5 Leif Lönnblad Lund University

Fritiofˆ String interactions Multiple interactions in p A & AA ˇ The Rope Model ◮ Partially overlapping string pieces in impact parameter and rapidity. ◮ Reconnect to get colour singlets. ◮ Random walk for the rest to get higher colour multiplets (ropes). ◮ The rope will break one string at the time. ◮ Calculate an effective string tension of a break-up, e.g. ◮ the first string to break in a sextet has an effective κ eff ∝ C 6 2 − C 3 2 = 3 2 C 3 2 ◮ The second breakup has standard κ ∝ C 3 2 ◮ Rescale the P YTHIA 8 parameters accordingly.
