Hadro-Chemistry and Evolution of (Anti-) Baryon Densities at RHIC

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

The consequences of hadro-chemical freezeout for the subsequent hadron gas evolution in central heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and LHC energies are discussed with special emphasis on effects due to antibaryons. Contrary to naive expectations, their individual conservation, as implied by experimental data, has significant impact on the chemical off-equilibrium composition of hadronic matter at collider energies. This may reflect on a variety of observables including source sizes and dilepton spectra.
