The observed limiting fragmentation of charged particle distributions in heavy ion collisions is difficult to explain as it does not apply to the proton spectrum itself. On the other hand, string percolation provides a mechanism to…
The $p_T$ distributions of the $K^0$- and $\phi$ - mesons produced in the $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=2.76 TeV$ have been analyzed by fitting them using the exponential function. It was observed that the distributions contain several $p_T$…
In most of the models of hadronic collisions the number of exchanged colour strings grows with energy and atomic numbers of the projectile and target. At high string densities interaction between them should melt them into the quark-gluon…
We propose a new criterium for saturation of the density of partons both in nucleons and nuclei. It is applicable to any multiple scattering model which would be used to compute the number of strings exchanged in $ep$ and $eA$ collisions.…

Volume fluctuations are introduced in a statistical modelling of relativistic particle collisions. The micro-canonical ensemble is used, and the volume fluctuations are assumed to have the specific scaling properties. This leads to the KNO…
In the large $N_c$ approximation to $QCD$, the leading $\pp$ scattering amplitude is expressed as the sum of an infinite number of tree diagrams. We investigate the possibility that an adequate approximation at energies up to somewhat more…
The $\bar{\Omega}/\Omega$ ratio originating from string decays is predicted to be larger than unity in proton proton interactions at SPS energies ($E_{\rm lab}$=160 GeV). The anti-omega dominance increases with decreasing beam energy. This…
It is shown that defining a suitable saturation momentum $Q_s$, the $p_T$ distributions of pp and AA collisions for any centrality and energy depend only on $\tau=p^2_T/Q_s^2$ for $p_T<Q_s$. For different projectiles, targets and…

We argue that $p_T$ distribution data from the LHC on the invariant differential yield of the charged primary particles in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=0.9 TeV, 2.76 TeV,7TeV$ and in $Pb-Pb$ collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=2.76 TeV$ with 6…
Using the negative binomial distribution (NBD) and the generalized Glauber-Lachs (GGL) formula, we analyze the data on charged multiplicity distributions in the several pseudorapidity intervals |\eta| < \eta_c at 0.2 - 7 TeV by UA5 and…
Multiparticle production at high energies is described in terms of color strings stretched between the projectile and target. As string density increases, overlap among the strings leads to cluster formation. At some critical density a…
Boost invariance and multiplicity dependence of the charge balance function are studied in $\pi^{+}\rp$ and $\rK^{+}\rp$ collisions at 250 GeV/$c$ incident beam momentum. Charge balance, as well as charge fluctuations, are found to be boost…
