Strangeness and thresholds of phase changes in relativistic heavy ion collisions
Johann Rafelski, Jean Letessier
We discuss how the dynamics of the evolving hot fireball of quark--gluon matter impacts phase transition between the deconfined and confined state of matter. The rapid expansion of…
Particle multiplicities and fluctuations in 200 GeV Au-Au collisions
Giorgio Torrieri, Sangyong Jeon, Johann Rafelski
We use the statistical hadronization model (SHM) to describe hadron multiplicity yields and fluctuations. We consider 200 GeV Au-Au collisions, and show that both event averaged yi…
Constraining freeze-out with yields and fluctuations
Giorgio Torrieri, Sangyong Jeon, Johann Rafelski
We show that the simultaneous measurement of yields and fluctuations in heavy ion collisions is capable of falsifying and constraining the statistical hadronization model. We show…
A statistical model analysis of yields and fluctuations in 200 GeV Au-Au collisions
Giorgio Torrieri, Sangyong Jeon, Johann Rafelski
We show that the simultaneous measurement of yields and fluctuations is capable of falsifying and constraining the statistical hadronization model. We show how such a measurement c…
Balance of baryon number in the quark coalescence model
A. Bialas, J. Rafelski
The charge and baryon balance functions are studied in the coalescence hadronization mechanism of quark-gluon plasma. Assuming that in the plasma phase the pairs form un…
Delta-33 medium mass modification and pion spectra
Bi Pin-zhen, Johann Rafelski
We study the pi+- spectra obtained in 2,4,6,8 A GeV Au-Au collisions within the thermal model. We find that the main features of the data can be well described after we include the…
