Abstract
Recently, CERN Large Hadron Collider has performed a collision experiment of xenon–xenon (Xe–Xe) nuclei at \(\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 5.44\hbox {TeV}\). The experiment based on Xe–Xe nuclei can provide a deeper understanding of the particle production mechanism in QCD. In this article, we have studied midrapidity pseudorapidity density (\((\hbox {d}n_{\hbox {ch}}/\hbox {d}\eta )_{\eta =0}\)) of charged hadrons with respect to collision centrality using the modified version of wounded quark model (WQM). In WQM, we have constructed minimum-bias event sets in two different ways denoted as Class I and Class II. Further, we have shown the scaling behavior of \((\hbox {d}n_{\hbox {ch}}/\hbox {d}\eta )_{\eta =0}\) with respect to the number of participating quarks, \(N_{q}\). We observed that Class II results satisfy the experimental data quite well.
