Using the HIJING Model in Modeling Nucleus–Nucleus Interaction at Energies of Nucleon–Nucleon Collisions 5–15 GeV

A new set of HIJING model parameters is found. Changes in the model are proposed that allow NA49 and NA61/SHINE experimental data on pp interactions to be described at projectile proton momenta $${{p}_{{{\text{lab}}}}}$$ = 20, 31, 40, 80 and 158 GeV c−1 in the rest frame of target protons. The modified model is used to analyze data on nucleus–nucleus interaction. It is shown that the model allows the main properties of these interactions to be described.
