We have examined the chemical freeze-out surface of the heavy-ion collision experiments within an interacting hadron resonance gas model. By considering repulsive interaction among hadrons in the mean-field level, we have suitably…

The dependence of particle production on the size of the colliding nuclei is analysed in terms of the thermal model using the canonical ensemble. The concept of strangeness correlation in clusters of sub-volume $V_c$ is used to account for…
We report the recent results of proton and anti-proton yields as a function of centrality and p_T in Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV, measured by the PHENIX experiment at RHIC. In central collisions at intermediate transverse…
The first phase of Beam Energy Scan (BES) program at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) was started in the year 2010 with the aim to study the several aspects of the quantum chromodynamics (QCD) phase diagram. The Solenoidal Tracker…

An important process for antimatter experiments is the cooling of particles in a Penning-Malmberg trap to experimentally useful temperatures. A non-neutral plasma of one species (e.g. antiprotons) can be collisionally cooled on another…
Per-trigger yields of $\pi^0$-hadron correlations were measured in semicentral Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 5.02$ TeV in ALICE at the LHC. The reconstructed $\pi^0 \rightarrow \gamma \gamma$, with a transverse momentum of $11 <…
Information about the space-time evolution of colliding nuclei can be extracted correlating particles emitted from nuclear collisions. The high density of particles produced in the STAR experiment allows the measurement of non-identical…
The rapidity dependence of the chemical freeze-out thermal parameters $T$ and $\mu_B$ are determined at the highest RHIC and SPS energies. These show a systematic behavior towards an increase in $\mu_B$ away from mid-rapidity and a…

We employ a hybrid approach to describe the light nuclei production mechanism where the nucleons are assumed to be thermally produced, and are allowed to form light nuclei using a coalescence prescription. In this approach, we first fit…
Particle yields in heavy ion collisions show an overwhelming evidence for chemical or relative chemical equilibrium at all beam energies. The rapidity dependence of the thermal parameters $T$ and $\mu_B$ can now be determined over a wide…
We show how the measured particle ratios can be used to provide non-trivial information about the critical temperature of the QCD phase transition. This is obtained by including the effects of highly massive Hagedorn resonances on…
