Abstract:By means of the AKK08 fragmentation function, the net-proton transverse momentum (pT) spectra in A+A collisions are studied with two phenomenological models based on the Color Glass Condensate formalism. After a χ2analysis of the experimental data from BRAHMS, the normalization constantCis extracted at RHIC energies of √sNN=62.4 and 200 GeV, and the theoretical results of the net-protonpT spectra at selected rapidities are also given. It is shown that the theoretical results are in good agreement with the experimental data. Finally, assuming the constantCshould have an exponent dependence of √sNN, we also predict the theoretical results of net-protonpT spectra at LHC energies of √sNN=2.76, 3.94, and 5.52 TeV.
