More uses for Thermal Models

Abstract

We explore combinations of particle and anti-particle yields which can be used to test thermal models in a parameter free way. We also explore combinations which can be used to extract ${\mu }_B/T$, ${\mu }_S/T$ and ${\mu }_Q/T$. We use experimentally measured particle-antiparticle specific ratios for proton $p$, Lambda $\Lambda$, and cascade $\Xi$, for $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=$ 7.7-39 GeV from RHIC BES phase-1 to extract the ${\mu }_{B,S,Q}/T$. These compared well with published STAR freeze-out parameters. These combinations are verified to predict a similar combination of $\Omega$ yields. We also extend this idea to predict (anti-)nuclei yields at energies where they are not measured. We also update parametrizations for the $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ dependence of freeze-out parameters $T$ and ${\mu }_B$, and present for the first time a similar parametrization of ${\mu }_S$.
