Conclusions from ISR 1970-1990Conclusions from ISR 1970-1990
• Parton dynamics manifest in all areas of hadronic
interactions:
- rising central rapidity plateau (gluons, sea quarks)
- forward particle production pictures valence partons
(counting rules)
- hard parton scattering leads to high pT production
(perturbative QCD already applicable in the few
GeV/c region)• Underlying mechanism: Intermediate partonic state
present in all hadronic interactions, initiated by gluon exchange = colour exchange strings

everything to itself as proper nourishment, and, from the first moment of your begetting it, it generally grows the stronger by everything you see, hear, read or understand.’

Conclusions from NA49 2008Conclusions from NA49 2008
• What about the intermediate partonic phase?• What about the partonic central production
mechanism?• What about the trace of valence partons in forward
production?• What about the Drell-Yan mechanism?• What about partonic hard scattering?• Where is the shadow line between perturbative
and non-perturbative QCD?
62
Could it be that:Could it be that:
- there is no intermediate partonic phase
- there is no direct manifestation of partonic structure
and dynamics, examples: - absence of tightly bound diquarks, pentaquarks
(exotics in general?)
- alternative explanation for « rising rapidity plateau » and
forward hadron production
- the « shadow line » between soft and hard processes
is much higher in momentum transfer than generally
assumed
63
Could it finally be that:Could it finally be that:
- soft hadronic production is governed by high
mass resonance excitation and cascading
decay,
- not as assumed by thermodynamics
- not as used in « microscopic » models
- not as precribed by string fragmentation- experimentation should play a new role in a
situation where theory evidently breaks
down : the tools for this are available!
