Abstract

The data on transverse momentum integrated hadron yields in different multiplicity classes of p+p collisions at s=7\sqrt{s}=7 TeV have been analyzed to extract the chemical freeze-out parameters using a thermal model. The chemical freeze-out parameters have been extracted for three different freeze-out schemes: i. unified freeze-out for all hadrons in complete thermal equilibrium (1CFO), ii. unified freeze-out for all hadrons with an additional parameter γS\gamma_S which accounts for possible out-of-equilibrium production of strange hadrons (1CFO+γS+\gamma_S), and iii. separate freeze-out for hadrons with and without strangeness content (2CFO). It has been observed that 1CFO+γS+\gamma_S scheme gives the best description of the hadronic yields at midrapidity when multiplicity (dNch/dη\langle dN_{ch}/d\eta \rangle) of the collision is less than 10. This indicates that the strangeness is out of equilibrium in most of the multiplicity classes of p+p collisions. All the three parameters of this CFO scheme, temperature (TT), radius of the fireball (RR) and strangeness suppression factor (γS\gamma_S) increase with the increase of dNch/dη\langle dN_{ch}/d\eta \rangle. Further, we have compared applicability of different CFO schemes considering two more colliding system p+Pb at \sNN\sNN = 5.02 and Pb+Pb at \sNN\sNN = 2.76 TeV along with p+p collisions at s=7\sqrt{s}=7 TeV. We observe a freeze-out volume (or multiplicity) dependence of CFO schemes regardless of colliding ions. The 1CFO+γS\gamma_S, 1CFO and 2CFO schemes provide best description of the data when the dimension less quantity VT3VT^3 approximately satisfies the conditions VT3<50VT^3 <50, 50<VT3<10050 < VT^3 < 100 and VT3>100VT^3 > 100 respectively or the corresponding multiplicity satisfies the conditions dNch/dη<30\langle dN_{ch}/d\eta \rangle<30, 30<dNch/dη<6030 < dN_{ch}/d\eta < 60 and dNch/dη>100\langle dN_{ch}/d\eta \rangle>100 respectively.
