Predictions of hadronic observables in Pb+Pb collisions at \surd sNN = 2.76 TeV from a hadronic rescattering model

A kinematic model based on the superposition of p+p collisions, relativistic geometry and final-state hadronic rescattering is used to predict various hadronic observables in \surd sNN = 2.76 TeV Pb+Pb collisions. Predictions for rapidity and transverse momentum distributions, elliptic flow, and two...

Summary:A kinematic model based on the superposition of p+p collisions, relativistic geometry and final-state hadronic rescattering is used to predict various hadronic observables in \surd sNN = 2.76 TeV Pb+Pb collisions. Predictions for rapidity and transverse momentum distributions, elliptic flow, and two-boson femtoscopy are presented. A short proper time for hadronization is assumed. Previous calculations using this model which were performed for \surd sNN = 200 GeV Au+Au collisions were shown to describe reasonably well the trends of observables in experiments carried out at that energy, giving the present predictions for Pb+Pb at higher energy some degree of credibility.
