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 combination of the ionization energy loss (dE/dx) from Time Projection Chamber (TPC) at $\simeq8$% resolution and multi-gap resistive plate chamber time-of-flight (TOF) at 85$ps$ provides powerful particle identification. We present…
We propose a method to estimate the entropy of thermal pions in A+A collisions irrespective of unknown form of freeze-out (isothermal) hypersurface and transverse flows developed. We analyse the average phase-space densities and entropies…
A state-of-the-art 3D source imaging technique is used to extract the 3D two-pion source function in central and mid-central Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200$ GeV. The source function indicates a previously unresolved non-Gaussian…

Charged pions from Ni + Ni reactions at 1.05, 1.45 and 1.93 AGeV are measured with the FOPI detector. The mean $\pi^{\pm}$ multiplicities per mean number of participants increase with beam energy, in accordance with earlier studies of the…
Charge balance functions, which identify balancing particle-antiparticle pairs on a statistical basis, have been shown to be sensitive to whether hadronization is delayed by several fm/c in relativistic heavy ion collisions. Results from…
The balance function, which measures the correlation between opposite sign charge pairs, is sensitive to the mechanisms of charge formation and the subsequent relative diffusion of the balancing charges. The study of the balance function…
Measurements of three-dimensional correlation functions of like-sign low transverse momentum kaon pairs from Au+Au collisions at top RHIC energy $\sqrt s_{NN}$=200 GeV are presented. The extracted kaon source function is narrower than the…
The results of mid-rapidity ($0 < y < 0.8$) neutral pion spectra over an extended transverse momentum range ($1 < p_T < 12$ GeV/$c$) in $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV Au+Au collisions, measured by the STAR experiment, are presented. The neutral…

Various explanations of the anomalous proton to pion ratio at the LHC are discussed. The special emphasis is set on the Cracow thermal model with single freeze-out. This model allows to get a good agreement for both the mean hadron…
The mass distributions of baryon resonances populated in near-central collisions of Au on Au and Ni on Ni are deduced by defolding the $p_t$ spectra of charged pions by a method which does not depend on a specific resonance shape. In…

The STAR Collaboration has measured two-pion correlation functions versus emission angle with respect to the event plane in non-central Au+Au collisions at \sqrt{s_{NN}}=130, 200 GeV. In the context of a parameterized freezeout scenario,…

The presence of memory effects and color long-range forces among the many-parton system in the early stage of heavy-ion collisions can affect the particle statistical behavior at the freeze-out temperature. In this context, we calculate, in…
We fit the single-hadron transverse-momentum spectra measured in Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 2.76$ TeV with the blast-wave model that includes production via resonance decays. Common fit to pions, kaons, (anti)protons, and lambdas…
