Strangeness (Freeze-out): Parallel 2
- Grazyna Odyniec (Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. (US))
The systematic study of hadronic elliptic flow in various relativistic heavy ion collisions is important for the investigation of the initial geometry influence on the quark gluon plasma characteristics. The 𝝋-meson consists of strange and antistrange quarks and has a small interaction cross section with non-strange hadrons. Therefore, 𝝋-mesons are barely affected by late hadronic stage and...
We investigate the chemical freeze-out in heavy-ion collisions (HICs) and the impact of the hadronic spectrum on thermal model analyses [1, 2]. Detailed knowledge of the hadronic spectrum is still an open question, which has phenomenological consequences on the study of HICs. By varying the number of resonances included in Hadron Resonance Gas (HRG) Model calculations, we can shed light on...
Particle production and anisotropic flow measurements have been used to investigate the properties of the QCD matter produced in heavy ion collisions.The RHIC Beam Energy Scan program covers a wide range of energies, including the transition from a partonic dominated area to hadronic dominated area. Of particular interest is the high baryon density region which is accessible through production...
