The energy density representation of the strangeness enhancement from p+p to Pb+Pb
arXiv:1608.02101
Abstract
The energy density is the prime parameter to define the deconfinement of quarks and gluons occurring in collisions of heavy ions. Recently, there is mounting evidence that many observables in proton-proton collisions behave in a manner very similar to the one observed in heavy ions. We present as an additional piece of evidence, a scaling of the strange particle yields as a function of the energy density of the three collision systems: p+p p+Pb and Pb+Pb, using the latest results of the ALICE collaboration.
