Threshold effects in relativistic gases

Abstract

Particle multiplicities and ratios in the microcanonical ensemble of relativistic gases near production thresholds are studied. It is shown that the ratio of heavy to light particle multiplicity may be enhanced in comparison to its thermodynamic limit.
