Saturation and Scaling of Multiplicity, Mean pₜ and pₜ Distributions from 200 GeV < sqrts < 7 TeV - Addendum

Original · EN

In the previous paper we have argued that the LHC data on multiplicity, average transverse momentum, and charged particle transverse momentum distributions are well described with minimal modeling in terms of a saturation scale Qₛat(s). As a consequence, the pₜ spectra should exhibit geometric scaling. In this short note we show that recently released CMS data at sqrts=0.9, 2.36 and 7 TeV fall on a universal curve when plotted in terms of suitably defined scaling variable τ.
