Deconfinement energy threshold: analysis of hadron yields at 11.6 A GeV

Jean Letessier, Johann Rafelski, Giorgio Torrieri

We analyze the hadron yields obtained at the AGS in the range 11--11.6 A GeV and discuss strategies to identify possible deconfinement at this energy scale. These include considera…

Strangeness and QGP freeze-out dynamics

Johann Rafelski, Giorgio Torrieri, Jean Letessier

We compare chemical and thermal analysis of the SPS Pb--Pb results at GeV, and present a first chemical analysis of RHIC results. We show how a combined analysis of several…

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…

Hadron production in Pb-Pb collisions at 158A GeV

Johann Rafelski, Jean Letessier

A Fermi statistical model analysis of hadron abundances and spectra obtained in several relativistic heavy ion collision experiments is utilized to characterize a particle source.…

Hadron Freeze-out and QGP Hadronization

Johann Rafelski, Jean Letessier

Abundances and -spectra of strange and other hadronic particles emanating from central 158-200 A GeV reactions between nuclei are found to originate from a thermally equili…

Quark-Gluon Plasma in Pb--Pb 158 A GeV collisions: Evidence from strange particle abundances and the Coulomb effect

Jean Letessier, Johann Rafelski

The hadronic particle production data from relativistic nuclear Pb--Pb 158 A GeV collisions are successfully described within the chemical non-equilibrium model, provided that the…
