High temperature Bose-Einstein condensation

Abstract

The indications of a possible pion condensation at the LHC are summarized. The condensation is predicted by the non-equilibrium hadronization model for 2.76 TeV Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC. The model solves the proton/pion puzzle and reproduces the low $p_T$ enhancement of the pion spectra, as well as the spectra of protons and antiprotons, charged kaons, $K_S^0$, $K^{\ast }(892{)}^0$ and $\varphi (1020)$. The obtained parameters allow to estimate the amount of pion condensate on the level of 5\% from the total number of pions at the LHC. The condensate is located at $p_T<250$ MeV.
