Description
A new generalization of the Multipomeron exchange model (MEM) [1-3] for pp collisions is proposed, taking into account the effect of event-by-event string tension fluctuations [4]. It is shown that the new version of the MEM correctly reproduces the characteristic thermal behavior of $p_\mathrm{T}$ spectra in a wide energy range. In addition, the new generalization of the MEM improves the description of multiplicity distributions by replacing the Poisson distribution from one string with the discrete Gaussian distribution [5]. Calculations show that the new version of the MEM correctly reproduces the characteristic oscillating behavior of modified combinants in pp collisions over a wide energy range [5]. Simultaneously, the $p_\mathrm{T}$-multiplicity correlation functions are shown to be satisfactorily described together with the multiplicity-dependent $p_\mathrm{T}$ spectrum [6]. Possible applications of the new model for describing the relativisti heavy-ion collisions and opportunities for experiments at the NICA collider (Dubna) are discussed.
