Strange particle production at RHIC in a single-freeze-out model

Nuclear Theory 2015-06-26 v3 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology Nuclear Experiment

Abstract

Strange particle ratios and pT-spectra are calculated in a thermal model with single freeze-out, previously used successfully to describe non-strange particle production at RHIC. The model and the recently released data for phi, Lambda, anti-Lambda, and K*(892) are in very satisfactory agreement, showing that the thermal approach can be used to describe the strangeness production at RHIC.

We have added the comparison of the model predictions to the newly released Lambda and K*(892) pT-spectra from STAR
