Strangeness, Equilibration, Hadronization
Johann Rafelski
In these remarks I explain the motivation which leads us to consider chemical nonequilibrium processes in flavor equilibration and in statistical hadroniziation of quark--gluon pla…
Strangeness and Statistical QCD
Johann Rafelski, Jean Letessier
We discuss properties of statistical QCD relevant in Fermi phase space model analysis of strange hadron production experimental data. We argue that the analysis results interpreted…
Strange Hadron Resonances and QGP Freeze-out
G. Torrieri, J. Rafelski
We describe how the abundance and distribution of hyperon resonances can be used to probe freeze-out conditions. We demonstrate that resonance yields allow us to measure the time s…
Importance of reaction volume in hadronic collisions: Canonical enhancement
Johann Rafelski, Jean Letessier
We study the canonical flavor enhancement arising from exact conservation of strangeness, and charm flavor. Both the theoretical motivation, and the practical consequences are expl…
Probing Dense Matter with Strange Hadrons
Johann Rafelski, Jean Letessier
Analysis of hadron production experimental data allows to understand the properties of the dense matter fireball produced in relativistic heavy ion collisions. We interpret the ana…
Rapidity particle spectra in sudden hadronization of QGP
Jean Letessier, Johann Rafelski
We show that the remaining internal longitudinal flow of colliding quarks in nuclei offers a natural explanation for the diversity of rapidity spectral shapes observed in Pb--Pb 15…
