Abstract

The pseudorapidity distribution of charged hadron over a wide \(\eta \) range gives us crucial information about the dynamics of particle production. The constraint by the detector acceptance, particularly at forward rapidities, demands a proper distribution function to extrapolate the pseudorapidity distribution to large \(\eta \). In this work, we have proposed a phenomenological model based on the Pearson statistical framework to study the pseudorapidity distribution. We have analyzed and fit data of charged hadrons produced in \(Pb-Pb\) collision at 2.76 TeV and \(Xe-Xe\) collision at 5.44 TeV using the proposed model.
