Particle Production at RHIC and LHC Energies
Abstract
The production of different particle species is recently measured in collisions by the ALICE experiment at TeV. This motivates the use of various bosons and baryons measured at lower center-of-mass energies in comparing their ratios to the hadron resonance (HRG) gas model and PYTHIA event generator. It is found that the particle-to-antiparticle ratios are perfectly reproduce by means of HRG and PYTHIA at RHIC and LHC energies. The kaon-to-pion and proton-to-pion ratios are entirely overestimated by the HRG model. The PYTHIA event generator obviously underestimates the kaon-to-pion ratio and simultaneously reproduces the proton-to-pion ratio, almost perfectly, especially at LHC energy. While matter-to-antimatter and non-strange abundances are partly in line with predictions from the HRG model, it is found in the ALICE experiment that the measured baryon ratios are suppressed by a factor of . The strange abundances are overestimated in the HRG model.
