Hadron yields in Au+Au/Pb+Pb at RHIC and LHC from thermalized minijets
We calculate the yields of a variety of hadrons for RHIC and LHC energies
assuming thermodynamical equilibration of the produced minijets, and using as
input results from pQCD for the energy densities at midrapidity. In the
calculation of the production of partons and of transverse energy one has to
account for nuclear shadowing. By using two parametrizations for the gluon
shadowing one derives energy densities differing strongly in magnitude. In this
publication we link those perturbatively calculated energy densities of partons
via entropy conservation in an ideal fluid to the hadron multiplicities at
chemical freeze-out.Comment: 11 pages, 2 .eps figure
