We introduce a new formulation of the diquark breaking mechanism which describes with no free parameters the huge nuclear stopping observed in central nucleus-nucleus collisions. Supplemented, in the dual parton model, with strings…
We review the two sources of hyperon enhancement in the dual parton model: strings originating from diquark-antidiquark pairs in the nucleon sea and net baryons containing two or three sea quarks with a yield controlled by the observed…
Recent experimental data on antibaryon production outside nucleon-nucleon kinematical limits have been obtained in Pb-Pb collisions at SPS energies. We present a possible explanation for this phenomenon based on the existence of collective…
The rapidity distribution of $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$ produced in nucleus-nucleus collisions at CERN energies is studied in the framework of an independent string model - with quark-antiquark as well as diquark-antidiquark pairs in the…
The process of baryon number transfer due to string junction propagation in rapidity space is considered. It leads to a significant effect in the net baryon production in pA collisions at mid-rapidities and an even more significant effect…
We present an improved version of the dual parton model which contains a new realization of the diquark breaking mechanism of baryon stopping. We reproduce in this way the net baryon yield in nuclear collisions. The model, which also…
The process of secondary baryon production in pi(+-)p collisions at high energies in the central and forward fragmentation regions is considered in the framework of the Quark-Gluon String Model. The contribution of the string-junction…
When a diquark does not fragment directly but breaks in such a way that only one of its quarks gets into the produced baryon, the latter is produced closer to mid rapidities. The relative size of this diquark breaking component increases…
We revisit the recipe for hadron formation in the Lund string hadronization model. Given an incoming quark or quark-diquark pair, weights for hadron formation are updated to take hyperfine splitting effects arising from the mass difference…
The baryons containing two heavy quarks and a light quark are believed to have the diquark-quark structure and the diquark is composed of the two heavy quarks which is a spin-0 or spin-1 object. The superflavor symmetry can associate…
We consider the phenomenological consequences of the assumption that the baryons are the systems of three quarks and string junction. The process of baryon number transfer due to string junction propagation in rapidity space is considered…
We describe particle production in the framework of an independent string model: the dual parton model. We show that an improved version of this model, containing a diquark breaking component, allows to describe the bulk of particle…

We consider the string breaking phenomenon within effective string models which purport to mimic QCD with two light flavors, with a special attention to baryon modes. We make some estimates of the string breaking distances at zero and…

We discuss the model predictions for antibaryon/baryon production ratios in high energy heavy ion collisions. The role of string junction mechanism of baryon number transfer seems to be very important here and we consider some quantitative…
In models for hadron collisions based on string hadronization, the strings are usually treated as independent, allowing no interaction between the confined colour fields. In studies of nucleus collisions it has been suggested that strings…
