Thermal description of transverse-momentum spectra at RHIC

Nuclear Theory 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

We show that the transverse-momentum spectra of all hadrons measured at RHIC, including hyperons, are described very well in a thermal model assuming the simultaneous chemical and thermal freeze-outs. The model calculation takes into account all hadronic resonances and uses a simple parametrization of the freeze-out hypersurface.
