Structure of constituent parton Fock states

Initial state emission (ISE) of partons doesn’t stop at the Q0-cutoff it is extended into nonperturbative region by the soft Pomeron this changes the structure of constituent parton Fock states (represented by end-point partons in ISE)

in QGSJET(-II): described by Reggeon asymptotics (∝ x−αR(0), αR(0) ≃ 0.5)

Structure of constituent parton Fock states

Usually: one (implicitely) starts from the same nonperturbative Fock state (typical for models used at colliders, also SIBYLL) multiple scattering has small impact on forward spectra

new branches emerge at small x (G(x,q2) ∝ 1/x)

⇒ Feynman scaling & limiting

  • fragm. for forward production

higher √s ⇒ more abundant central particle production only forward & central production – decoupled from each other

(descreasing number of cascade branches for increasing x)

Structure of constituent parton Fock states

EPOS & QGSJET(-II): p = ∑ of multi-parton Fock states many cascades develop in parallel (already at nonperturbative stage)

⇒ flatter dNch

pp/dη at large η

higher √s ⇒ larger Fock states come into play: |qqq → |qqq¯ qq → ... |qqq¯ qq...¯ qq

⇒ softer forward spectra (energy sharing between constituent partons)

forward & central particle production - strongly correlated

e.g. more activity in central detectors ⇒ larger Fock states ⇒ softer forward spectra

Structure of constituent parton Fock states

Of importance for cosmic ray studies: √s-dependence of Kinel

pp

SIBYLL & PYTHIA: weak energy dependence of the nucleon ’inelasticity’

for increasing √s: mostly central production enhanced

smaller Kinel ⇒ stronger ’leading particle’ effect ⇒ slower development of CR-induced air showers

Structure of constituent parton Fock states

Crucial test: cross-correlation of dNch

pp/d|η| at η = 0 and η = 6

strong correlation for QGSJET-II & EPOS (apart from the tails of the Nch distributions) twice weaker correlation for SIBYLL & PYTHIA

Comment of the Monash tune of PYTHIA

ISE in PYTHIA is traced back for all hard scatterings individually should it then correspond to the case of multiparton Fock states? usually not: the end-point partons (mostly gluons) are sampled predominantly as ∝ 1/x

ISE in PYTHIA is traced back for all hard scatterings individually should it then correspond to the case of multiparton Fock states? usually not: the end-point partons (mostly gluons) are sampled predominantly as ∝ 1/x Not so much in the Monash tune for 2 reasons the pt-cutoff scale is relatively low (2 GeV) and √s-independent the PDFs employed contain ’valence gluon’ component backward evolution proceeds in q2 & x simultaneously ⇒ the (small) ’valence gluon’ impacts noticeably the x of the end-point partons

Further discrimination: forward hadrons by LHCf & ATLAS

Forward π0 spectra in LHCf for different ATLAS triggers (≥ 1, 6, 20 charged hadrons of pt > 0.5 GeV & |η| < 2.5) Compare QGSJET-II-04 (left) to SIBYLL 2.3 (right) enhanced multiple scattering ⇒ softer pion spectra ⇒ violation of limiting fragmentation (energy sharing between constituent partons) nearly same spectral shape for all the triggers ⇒ perfect limiting fragmentation (central production decoupled)

Further discrimination: forward hadrons by LHCf & ATLAS

Neutron spectra in LHCf (8.99 < η < 9.22) for same triggers remarkably universal spectral shape in SIBYLL-2.3 (decoupling of central production)

closely related to the small ’inelasticity’ of the model

strong suppression of forward neutrons in QGSJET-II-04

higher central activity ⇒ more constituent partons involved ⇒ less energy left for the proton ’remnant’

Summary

1 QGSJET-II offers a phenomenological RFT-based description

  • f soft & hard processes

2 Extending ISR into soft domain → different structure of

constituent parton Fock states

⇒ strong long-range correlations between central & forward hadron production

3 enhanced Pomeron diagrams generate the ’soft splitting’

contribution to DPS

4 σeff

pp obtained using the default parameters of QGSJET-II

agrees with the measured values - if the hard parton splitting is taken into account

5 hard splitting has a minor influence on minimum bias events
