Group projection method in statistical systems
K. Redlich, F. Karsch, A. Tounsi
We discuss an application of group theoretical methods to the formulation of the thermodynamics of systems constrained by the conservation laws described by a semi--simple compact…
Strangeness Enhancement and Canonical Suppression
Ahmed Tounsi, Krzysztof Redlich
We demonstrate the essential role of canonical suppression in strangeness enhancement. The pattern of enhancement of strange and multistrange baryons observed by the WA97 collabora…
Strangeness enhancement in heavy ion collisions
K. Redlich, A. Tounsi
We argue that the main features of baryon and anti-baryon enhancement observed by the WA97 collaboration can be described using canonical formulation of strangeness conservation. W…
Free Energy of a Hot Quark-Gluon Plasma
Salah Hamieh, Jean Letessier, Johann Rafelski +2
Thermal (Th-)QCD properties appear to disagree with lattice (L-)QCD results, which suggests that Th-QCD does not have a valid perturbative expansion. However, we reproduce L-QCD us…
Thermal Flavor Production and Signatures of Deconfinement
J. Rafelski, J. Letessier, A. Tounsi
Using renormalization group methods we evaluate the thermal strangeness and charm chemical equilibrium relaxation times in the deconfined quark-gluon plasma. We present a reaction…
