The same key to different doors - temperature puzzles
Abstract
The notion of temperature in many body elementary particle processes is in a common use for decades. Thermal models have become simple and universal effective tools to describe particle production -- not only in high energy heavy ion collisions but also in high energy elementary particle collisions. We perform a critical analysis of the temperature concepts in such processes. Although the temperature concept is a very useful tool, nevertheless it should be used with the care, taking into account that usually it is just model dependent fitted parameter.
