Observable implications of geometrical and dynamical aspects of freeze-out in heavy ion collisions
Using an analytical parameterization of hadronic freeze-out in relativistic heavy ion collisions, we present a detailed study of the connections between features of the freeze-out configuration and physical observables. We focus especially on anisotropic freeze-out configurations (expected in general for collisions at finite impact parameter), azimuthally-sensitive HBT interferometry, and final...
متن کاملComparison of chemical freeze-out criteria in heavy-ion collisions
One of the most remarkable results to emerge from heavy-ion collisions over the past two decades is the striking regularity shown by particle yields at all energies. This has led to several very successful proposals describing particle yields over a very wide range of beam energies, reaching from 1A GeV up to 200A GeV, using only one or two parameters. A systematic comparison of these proposals...
متن کاملUniversal pion freeze-out in heavy-ion collisions.
Based on an evaluation of data on pion interferometry and on particle yields at midrapidity, we propose a universal condition for thermal freeze-out of pions in heavy-ion collisions. We show that freeze-out occurs when the mean free path of pions lambda(f) reaches a value of about 1 fm, which is much smaller than the spatial extent of the system at freeze-out. This critical mean free path is in...
متن کاملStrange Hadron Resonances: Freeze-Out Probes in Heavy-Ion Collisions
Hyperon resonances are becoming an extremely useful tool allowing the study of the properties of hadronic fireballs made in heavy ion collisions. Their yield, compared to stable particles with the same quark composition, depends on hadronization conditions. The resonance’s short lifetime makes them ideal probes of the fireball chemical freeze-out mechanisms. An analysis of resonance abundance i...
متن کاملFreeze-out conditions in heavy ion collisions from QCD thermodynamics.
We present a determination of freeze-out conditions in heavy ion collisions based on ratios of cumulants of net electric charge fluctuations. These ratios can reliably be calculated in lattice QCD for a wide range of chemical potential values by using a next-to-leading order Taylor series expansion around the limit of vanishing baryon, electric charge and strangeness chemical potentials. From a...
