Disentangling Soft and Hard Hadron Yields in PbPb Collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 2.76 ATeV
Abstract
We demonstrate that charged pion spectra in central and peripheral PbPb collisions at = 2.76 ATeV obtained via perturbative quantum chromodynamics improved parton model calculations [17] can be approximated by the Tsallis distribution for transverse momenta 4 GeV/c. Then, we propose a model in which, hadrons produced in heavy-ion collisions stem either from "soft" or "hard" processes, and are distributed according to the Tsallis distribution in both types of yields. We describe transverse spectra as well as azimuthal anisotropy () of charged hadrons stemming from various centrality PbPb collisions at = 2.76 ATeV [40,41,42] analytically. In addition, we find that the anisotropy decreases for more central collisions.
