Chemical Equilibration and Transport Properties of Hadronic Matter near $T_c$

J. Noronha-Hostler, J. Noronha, H. Ahmad +2

We discuss how the inclusion of Hagedorn states near $T_c$ leads to short chemical equilibration times of proton anti-proton pairs, $K\bar{K}$ pairs, and $\Lambda \bar{\Lambda }$ pairs, which indi…
