Particle Production and Volume
Pointed out by Fermi, Hagedorn in 1960’s(and discussed much more since)
Particle production can be described by the phase space!
Statistical models are used to estimate the equilibrium properties
• Trends of particle yields and ratios
• How good are the thermal model fits? What are T, s B parameters?
• Can the phase space arguments describe the strangeness centrality dependence?
• Is there a difference in the production of the bulk matter and the non-bulk matter?
Canonical (small system i.e. pp):Quantum Numbers conserved exactly.
Grand Canonical limit (large system i.e. central AA):Quantum Numbers conserved on average via chemical potential.

To make any kind of consistency checks …
FIRST:
Requirements of the models should be same.
Fix parameters …
E.g. Set q to 1 in SHARE,
Allow only Grand Canonical Ensemble in THERMUS

• The enhancements grow with the strangeness of the baryon and centrality.
• The enhancements are similar to those measured in √sNN =17.3 GeV collisions.

s-Quarks Have Different Scaling!
Scaling according to quark content?
u, d – scale with Npart
– already observed.
s – scale with Nbin
– appears better for strange particles.

Conclusions
Baryon transport is ~ independent of system size at RHIC energies.
Coalescence can explain the meson baryon difference at 62 GeV collisions too. Baryon and meson suppression sets in at same quark pT .
Feed down corrections from weak decays are important.
T is similar for pp and AuAu collisions. While s of pp collisions at RHIC is smaller than AuAu at RHIC, it is similar to that of PbPb at SPS.
Where quark coalescence seems to dominate (intermediate pT) T and s show an increase.
It looks like these particles come from a hotter source.
Particles with s-quarks appear to scale differently than non-s quarks. Maybe s-quarks “see“ a different correlation volume than light quarks?

Outline

Particle Production and Volume
Canonical (small system i.e. pp):Quantum Numbers conserved exactly.
Computations take into account energy to create companion to ensure conservation of strangeness.
Grand Canonical limit (large system i.e. central AA):Quantum Numbers conserved on average via chemical potential. Account only creation of particle itself.
The rest of the system “picks up the slack”. When reach grand canonical limit strangeness saturate
Pointed out by Fermi, Hagedorn in 1960’s(and much more discussed since)

Fig. 1: QuestionsSolid – STAR Open – NA57
Is reason that protons don’t sit at unity due to lack of feed-down correction from Lambda?
Is this a problem when taking ratios? Different feed-down for p-p than Au-Au?
Also questions about the highest two centrality bins as them see high for all our data. Is there a problem with our Npart calc?
