A Baseline Study of the Event-shape and Multiplicity Dependence of Chemical Freeze-out Parameters in Proton-Proton Collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV Using PYTHIA8

Abstract

The event-shape and multiplicity dependence of the chemical freeze-out temperature ($T_{\text{ch}}$), freeze-out radius ($R$), and strangeness saturation factor (${\gamma }_s$) are obtained by studying the particle yields from the PYTHIA8 Monte Carlo event generator in proton-proton (pp) collisions at the centre-of-mass $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV. Spherocity is one of the transverse event-shape techniques to distinguish jetty and isotropic events in high-energy collisions and helps in looking into various observables in a more differential manner. In this study, spherocity~classes are divided into three categories, namely (i) spherocity integrated, (ii) isotropic, and~(iii) jetty. The~chemical freeze-out parameters are extracted using a statistical thermal model as a function of the spherocity class and charged particle multiplicity in the canonical, strangeness canonical, and grand canonical ensembles. A clear observation of the multiplicity and spherocity class dependence of $T_{\text{ch}}$, $R$, and ${\gamma }_s$ is observed. A final state multiplicity, $N_{\mathrm{ch}}\ge$ 30 in the forward multiplicity acceptance of the ALICE detector appears to be a thermodynamic limit, where the freeze-out parameters become almost independent of the ensembles. This~study plays an important role in understanding the particle production mechanism in high-multiplicity pp collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) energies in view of a finite hadronic phase lifetime in small systems.
