The chemical freeze-out is often related to the phase transition to a deconfined state of matter, the Quark Gluon Plasma. We introduce a novel approach based on elastic and inelastic scattering rates to extract the hyper-surface of the chemical freeze-out from a hadronic transport simulation. We use the Ultra-relativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (UrQMD) model to extract the chemical...
Searching for exotic state particles and studying their properties have furthered our understanding of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). The $f_{0}(980)$ resonance is an exotic state with relatively higher production rate in relativistic heavy-ion collisions, decaying primarily into $\pi\pi$. Currently the structure and quark content of the $f_{0}(980)$ are unknown with several predictions from...
We compute resonance (rho, K*(892), phi(1020), f2'(1252), Lambda(1520), Sigma(1775)) yields and spectra in PbPb collisions at 5.02 TeV using hydrodynamics with hadronic afterburner. The yields and <pT> agree with available experimental data. With the afterburner the yields are substantially suppressed and the mean transverse momenta are substantially enhanced compared to the case without...
I shall present an analysis of the thermal composition of the S=-1 strange baryons using an S-matrix formulation of statistical mechanics. The thermal abundances are computed based on the density of states extracted from a coupled-channel model. The approach entails a consistent treatment of resonances and naturally incorporates nonresonant interactions and the contribution from some...
We study the role of dynamical strange quarks in transport properties of the QGP utilizing the quasiparticle approach based on the kinetic theory. The interactions with a hot medium are encoded in the quasiparticle excitations, with the temperature dependence of the dynamical masses specified by the effective coupling extracted from the lattice QCD thermodynamics.
Evaluation of the...
