Abstract
Applications of a simple thermal model to ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions are presented. We compute abundances of various hadrons, including particles with strange quarks, the pT-spectra, and the HBT radii for the pion. Surprising agreement is found, showing that the thermal approach can be used successfully to understand and describe the RHIC data.
