We argue that hadron multiplicities in central high energy nucleus-nucleus collisions are established very close to the phase boundary between hadronic and quark matter. In the hadronic picture this can be described by multi-particle…
Results on the production of $\pi^{\pm}$, $\textrm{K}^{\pm}$, $\textrm{p}(\bar{\textrm{p}})$, $\Lambda(\bar{\Lambda})$, $\Xi^{-} \left(\bar{\Xi}^{+}\right)$ and $\Omega^{-} \left(\bar{\Omega}^{+}\right)$ at midrapidity (${|y|<0.5}$) as a…
We explain how event-by-event fluctuations of particle ratios can constrain and falsify the statistical model of particle production in heavy ion collisions, using $K/\pi$ fluctuations as an example. We define an observable capable of…
We have estimated the dimensionless parameters such as Reynolds number ($Re$), Knudsen number ($Kn$) and Mach number ($Ma$) for a multi-hadron system by using the excluded volume hadron resonance gas (EVHRG) model along with Hagedorn mass…
We present the system size and flavour dependence of the chemical freeze-out temperature ($T_\mathrm{ch}$) at vanishing baryo-chemical potential calculated via thermal fits to experimental yields for several multiplicity classes in pp, pPb…
The preliminary data on hadron multiplicities measured in central Pb+Pb collisions at 158A GeV/c are analyzed. The ideal hadron gas model fails to give a reasonable explanation to the Pb+Pb data sets. We study the possible effects of pion…
We investigate the chemical freeze-out in heavy-ion collisions (HICs) and the impact of the hadronic spectrum on thermal model analyses. Detailed knowledge of the hadronic spectrum is still an open question, which has phenomenological…
We discuss the status of thermal model descriptions of particle ratios in central nucleus-nucleus collisions at ultra-relativistic energy. An alternative to the ``Cleymans-Redlich'' interpretation of the freeze-out trajectory is given in…
The multiplicity distributions of hadrons produced in central nucleus-nucleus collisions are studied within the hadron-resonance gas model in the large volume limit. The microscopic correlator method is used to enforce conservation of three…
Hyperon resonances are becoming an extremely useful tool allowing the study of the properties of hadronic fireballs made in heavy ion collisions. Their yield, compared to stable particles with the same quark composition, depends on…
We examine the stability of hadron resonance gas models by extending them to take care of undiscovered resonances through the Hagedorn formula. We find that the influence of unknown resonances on thermodynamics is large but bounded. Hadron…
We develop a novel formulation of the hadron-resonance gas model which, besides a hard-core repulsion, explicitly accounts for the surface tension induced by the interaction between the particles. Such an equation of state allows us to go…
Excluded-volume effects can play an important role in determining transport properties in diffusion of particles. Here, the diffusion of finite-sized hard-core interacting particles in two or three dimensions is considered systematically…
Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) with pure imaginary baryon number chemical potential mu =i theta T, where T is temperature and theta is a real number, has the Roberge-Weiss periodicity. We study the theta-dependence of the baryon number…
In this paper, an improved quasi-particle model is presented. Unlike the previous approach of establishing quasi-particle model, we introduce a classical background field (it is allowed to depend on the temperature) to deal with the…
In high energy nucleus-nucleus collisions, it is difficult to measure the contributions of resonance strong decay and weak decay to the final measured hadrons as well as the corresponding effects on some physical observables. To provide a…
Relativistic particle production often requires the use of Tsallis statistics to account for the apparently power-like behavior of transverse momenta observed in the data even at a few GeV/c. In such an approach this behavior is attributed…
It is shown that the hadron production in high energy pp and p{\bar p} collisions, calculated by assuming that particles originate in hadron gas fireballs at thermal and partial chemical equilibrium, agrees very well with the data. The…
We investigate the equilibration and the equation of state of a hot hadron gas at finite baryon density using an event generator which is designed to approximately satisfy detailed balance at finite temperatures and finite baryon densities…
The transverse energy and charged particle multiplicity at midrapidity and their ratio are evaluated in a statistical model with the longitudinal and transverse flows for different centrality bins at RHIC at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=130$ and 200 GeV.…
