We propose a measurement of leading neutrons spectra at LHC in order to extract inclusive $\pi^+ p$ and $\pi^+\pi^+$ cross-sections with high $p_T$ jets production. The cross-sections for these processes are simulated with the use of parton…

We first show that the pions produced at high $p_T$ in heavy-ion collisions over a wide range of high energies exhibit a scaling behavior when the distributions are plotted in terms of a scaling variable. We then use the recombination model…
Using the Drell-Levy-Yan relation, the pion and kaon elementary fragmentation functions (EFFs) are obtained from their hadron-scale parton distribution functions (DFs). These EFFs serve as driving terms in the hadron cascade equations,…
We show that the tail of the chiral two-pion exchange nucleon-nucleon potential is proportional to the $\pi N$ scalar form factor and discuss how it can be translated into effective scalar meson interactions. We then construct a kernel for…
