6 pages, 4 figures, revised derivation of the light-cone plasma distribution

Scientific paper

We deduce the maximum-entropy state of partons created in proton-proton and nucleus-nucleus collisions. This state is characterized by a distribution function n(x,\vec{p}_T) depending on the light-cone fraction x and the transverse momentum \vec{p}_T of forward or backward particles, respectively. The mean transverse momentum <|\vec{p}_T|> determines the single parameter of the maximum entropy distribution which is constrained by the sum of all light-cone momentum fractions being unity. The total multiplicity is related to the transverse area of the colliding Lorentz-contracted hadrons. Assuming parton-hadron duality we can compare the model to data from RHIC and LHC.
