Abstract
High energy sub-nuclear interactions are a good tool to dive deeply in the core of the particles to
recognize their structures and the forces governed. The current article focuses on using one of the
evolutionary computation techniques, the so-called genetic programming (GP), to model the ha-
dron nucleus (h-A) interactions through discovering functions. In this article, GP is used to simu-
late the rapidity distribution

so many runs to select the best runs of the GP program and finally obtained the rapidity distribu-

particles per unit solid angle (Y). In all cases studied, we compared our seven discovered functions
produced by GP technique with the corresponding experimental data and the excellent matching
was so clear.
