Abstract

Hadronic freezeout during the evolution of the medium created in heavy-ion collisions is an important phenomena. It is quite useful to find a universal freezeout condition for each and every nuclear collisions. In this article, we have constructed a hybrid model to calculate the ratio of transverse energy to total mean multiplicity ET/NchE_{T} /N_{ch}, since this ratio can possibly act as a freezeout condition in heavy-ion collision experiments. Present hybrid model blends two approaches : Tsallis statistics and wounded quark approach. Recently, Tsallis statistics has been reliably used to obtain the transverse momentum distribution of charged hadrons produced in relativistic ion collisions. On the other side it has been shown that the pseudorapidity distribution of charged hadrons can be calculated satisfactorily using the wounded quark model (WQM). We have used this hybrid model to calculate the transverse energy density distributions, dET/dηdE_{T}/d\eta at midrapidity using charged particle pseudorapidity distributions, dNch/dηdN_{ch}/d\eta and mean transverse momentum pT\langle p_{T} \rangle in various type of nuclear collisions. We found that present hybrid model satisfactorily explains the experimental data whether other models fail to reproduce the data at central and at peripheral collisions simultaneously. Finally, ratio of transverse energy to total mean multiplicity, ET/NchE_{T} /N_{ch} has been computed within hybrid model and compared with the available experimental data at RHIC and LHC energies. We observed no explicit dependence of ET/NchE_{T} /N_{ch} on energy as well as centrality and thus it can definitely act as a freezeout criteria.
