The transverse energy and the charged particle multiplicity in a statistical model with expansion

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2011-03-17 v1

Abstract

Global variables such as the transverse energy and the charged particle multiplicity and their ratio are evaluated, in a statistical model with expansion, for heavy-ion collisions from AGS to RHIC at sNN=200\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200 GeV. Full description of decays of hadron resonances is applied. The predictions of the model done at the freeze-out parameters established independently from observed particle yields and pTp_{T} spectra agree well with the experimental data. However, some (explicable) overestimation of the ratio has been found.
