Clocking hadronization in relativistic heavy-Ion collisions with balance functions
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel state of matter has been hypothesized to exist during the early stage of relativistic heavy-ion collisions, with normal hadrons not appearing until several fm/c after the start of the reaction. To test this hypothesis, correlations between charges and their associated anticharges are evaluated with the use of balance functions. It is shown that late-stage hadronization is characterized by tightly correlated charge-anticharge pairs when measured as a function of relative rapidity.

An introduction to the Statistical Hadronization Model
In these lectures I review the foundations and the applications of the statistical hadronization model to elementary and relativistic heavy ion collisions. The role of strangeness production and the general interpretation of results is addressed.

متن کاملHadronization in Heavy-ion Reactions
We present a model of fast hadronization of constituent quark matter in relativistic heavy ion collisions based on rate equations and capture cross sections in non-relativistic potential. We utilize a thermodynamically consistent approach with a non-ideal equation of state including correlation terms based on string phenomenology. We investigate strange and non-strange particle ratios observed ...
متن کاملSoft-hadronic Observables for Relativistic Heavy-ion Collisions at Rhic and Lhc * * *
The relativistic hydrodynamics together with the single-freeze-out statistical hadronization model is used to describe the midrapidity hadron production in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and LHC. At the highest RHIC energy our approach gives a quite satisfactory global description of soft hadronic observables including the HBT radii. With the increased initial energy, from RHIC...
متن کاملMultifragmentation, Clustering, and Coalescence in Nuclear Collisions
Nuclear collisions at intermediate, relativistic, and ultra-relativistic energies offer unique opportunities to study in detail manifold fragmentation and clustering phenomena in dense nuclear matter. At intermediate energies, the well known processes of nuclear multifragmentation – the disintegration of bulk nuclear matter in clusters of a wide range of sizes and masses – allow the study of th...
متن کاملA pr 1 99 9 Hadronization with a confining equation of state
We present a fast hadronization model for the constituent quark plasma (CQP) produced in relativistic heavy ion collisions at SPS. The model is based on rate equations and on a confining equation of state inspired by the string phenomenol-ogy. We display the time evolution of the relevant physical quantities during the hadronization process and the final hadron multiplicities. The results indic...
