Abstract
The PHOBOS’s limiting fragmentation etc. three empirical scaling rules for
charged multiplicity in Au+Au collisions at RHIC are investigated by a
hadron and string cascade model LUCIAE. Similar studies are performed for the meson exploring its production mechanism via comparing with the charged
multiplicity. The LUCIAE results for charged multiplicity are compatible with
PHOBOS observations. However, for the meson the three empirical scaling
rules are either kept only or kept better in the LUCIAE calculations without
reduction mechanism of the s quark suppression extra introduced for the
strangeness in LUCIAE model. These results seem indicating a universal
production mechanism for charged particle and meson in string
fragmentation regime. It is discussed that the PHOBOS’s empirical scaling
rules are model dependent indeed.
