Multiplicity dependence freeze-out scenarios in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV
Abstract
The data on transverse momentum integrated hadron yields in different multiplicity classes of p+p collisions at 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 which accounts for possible out-of-equilibrium production of strange hadrons (1CFO), and iii. separate freeze-out for hadrons with and without strangeness content (2CFO). It has been observed that 1CFO scheme gives the best description of the hadronic yields at midrapidity when multiplicity () 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 (), radius of the fireball () and strangeness suppression factor () increase with the increase of . Further, we have compared applicability of different CFO schemes considering two more colliding system p+Pb at = 5.02 and Pb+Pb at = 2.76 TeV along with p+p collisions at TeV. We observe a freeze-out volume (or multiplicity) dependence of CFO schemes regardless of colliding ions. The 1CFO+, 1CFO and 2CFO schemes provide best description of the data when the dimension less quantity approximately satisfies the conditions , and respectively or the corresponding multiplicity satisfies the conditions , and respectively.
