A statistical (thermal) model is applied to the description of hadron yields measured at central nucleus-nucleus collisions at the top RHIC energy $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200$ GeV and the LHC energy $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 2.76$ TeV. In contrast to the…
Hanbury-Brown Twiss (HBT) correlation measurements provide valuable information about the phase space distribution of matter in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. The rapidity dependence of HBT radii arises from a nontrivial interplay…

We analyse the transverse momentum ($p_{\rm T}$)-spectra as a function of charged-particle multiplicity at midrapidity ($|y| < 0.5$) for various identified particles such as $\pi^{\pm}$, $K^{\pm}$, $K_S^0$, $p+\overline{p}$, $\phi$, $K^{*0}…

I argue that measurements of Au+Au collisions at 20, 130 and 200 GeV of the centrality dependence of the mean p_t together with p_t and net-charge fluctuations reflect the approach to local thermal equilibrium.
The currently available set of hadron abundances at the SPS for central S+Au(W,Pb) collisions is compared to predictions from a scenario assuming local thermal and hadrochemical equilibrium. The data are consistent with a freeze-out…
The pt-spectra of hadrons measured at RHIC are very well described in a model which assumes that the chemical and thermal freeze-outs occur simultaneously. The model calculation includes all hadronic resonances and uses a simple…

The transverse momentum $(p_T)$ spectra of charged particles measured in Au + Au collisions from the beam energy scan (BES) program, Cu + Cu collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=62.4$, 200 GeV at the RHIC and Pb + Pb, Xe + Xe collisions at the LHC…
Different regions on the QCD phase diagram can be investigated by varying the collision energy and the centrality in heavy-ion collisions. In our latest measurements at the PHENIX experiment at RHIC, we utilize L\'evy-type sources to…
We formulate a freeze-out criterion for ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions in terms of the pion escape probability from the collision region. We find that the increase in pion phase-space density from SPS to RHIC reported at this…
