Abstract:

The special role of multiparticle production phenomenology to be played in quark-gluon plasma (QGP) search in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions is discussed referring to some latest results obtained from a statistical model, constituent quark model and collective quark-tube model (CQTM). It is found that CQTM is useful to estimate the mean hadron multiplicities in nucleus-nucleus collisions at high energies when hadron production takes place via a normal mechanism without QGP formation. CQTM predictions for the mean multiplicities at the RHIC and LHC regions are found to be in good agreement with the parton cascade result by Geiger. A possibility of utilizing the hadron multiplicity as a signal for QGP is discussed.
