Strangeness enhancement at LHC
Johann Rafelski, Jean Letessier
We study production of strangeness in the hot QGP fireball in conditions achieved at LHC, and use these results to obtain soft (strange) hadron multiplicities. We compare the chemi…
Heavy-Quark Kinetics in the QGP at LHC
H. van Hees, V. Greco, R. Rapp
We present predictions for the nuclear modification factor and elliptic flow of D and B mesons, as well as of their decay electrons, in semicentral Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC. Hea…
Thermal Dileptons at LHC
H. van Hees, R. Rapp
We predict dilepton invariant-mass spectra for central 5.5 ATeV Pb-Pb collisions at LHC. Hadronic emission in the low-mass region is calculated using in-medium spectral functions o…
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 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…
