Abstract

The transverse energies and the charged particle multiplicities at midrapidity as well as their ratio, dET/dηmid/dNch/dηmiddE_{T}/d\eta\mid_{mid} / dN_{ch}/d\eta|_{mid}, are evaluated in a statistical model with expansion for the wide range of heavy-ion collisions, from AGS to RHIC at sNN=200\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200 GeV. Full description of decays of hadron resonances is applied in calculations of both dET/dηmiddE_{T}/d\eta|_{mid} and dNch/dηmiddN_{ch}/d\eta|_{mid}. The predictions of the model at the freeze-out parameters, established independently from observed particle yields and pTp_{T} spectra, agree well with the experimental data.
