Chemical Freeze-out of Strange Particles and Possible Root of Strangeness Suppression
Two approaches to treat the chemical freeze-out of strange particles in
hadron resonance gas model are analyzed. The first one employs their
non-equillibration via the usual \gamma_s factor and such a model describes the
hadron multiplicities measured in nucleus-nucleus collisions at AGS, SPS and
RHIC energies with \chi^2/dof = 1.15. Surprisingly, at low energies we find not
the strangeness suppression, but its enhancement. Also we suggest an
alternative approach to treat the strange particle freeze-out separately, but
with the full chemical equilibration. This approach is based on the
conservation laws which allow us to connect the freeze-outs of strange and
non-strange hadrons. Within the suggested approach the same set of hadron
multiplicities can be described better than within the conventional approach
with \chi^2/dof = 1.06. Remarkably, the fully equilibrated approach describes
the strange hyperons and antihyperons much better than the conventional one.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure
New Signals of Quark-Gluon-Hadron Mixed Phase Formation
Here we present several remarkable irregularities at chemical freeze-out
which are found using an advanced version of the hadron resonance gas model.
The most prominent of them are the sharp peak of the trace anomaly existing at
chemical freeze-out at the center of mass energy 4.9 GeV and two sets of highly
correlated quasi-plateaus in the collision energy dependence of the entropy per
baryon, total pion number per baryon, and thermal pion number per baryon which
we found at the center of mass energies 3.8-4.9 GeV and 7.6-10 GeV. The low
energy set of quasi-plateaus was predicted a long time ago. On the basis of the
generalized shock-adiabat model we demonstrate that the low energy correlated
quasi-plateaus give evidence for the anomalous thermodynamic properties inside
the quark-gluon-hadron mixed phase. It is also shown that the trace anomaly
sharp peak at chemical freeze-out corresponds to the trace anomaly peak at the
boundary between the mixed phase and quark gluon plasma. We argue that the high
energy correlated quasi-plateaus may correspond to a second phase transition
and discuss its possible origin and location. Besides we suggest two new
observables which may serve as clear signals of these phase transformations.Comment: 14 pages, 4 figures, new signals of QGP formation are suggeste
Hadron Resonance Gas Model with Induced Surface Tension
Here we present a physically transparent generalization of the multicomponent
Van der Waals equation of state in the grand canonical ensemble. For the
one-component case the third and fourth virial coefficients are calculated
analytically. It is shown that an adjustment of a single model parameter allows
us to reproduce the third and fourth virial coefficients of the gas of hard
spheres with small deviations from their exact values. A thorough comparison of
the compressibility factor and speed of sound of the developed model with the
one and two component Carnahan-Starling equation of state is made. It is shown
that the model with the induced surface tension is able to reproduce the
results of the Carnahan-Starling equation of state up to the packing fractions
0.2-0.22 at which the usual Van der Waals equation of state is inapplicable. At
higher packing fractions the developed equation of state is softer than the gas
of hard spheres and, hence, it breaks causality in the domain where the
hadronic description is expected to be inapplicable. Using this equation of
state we develop an entirely new hadron resonance gas model and apply it to a
description of the hadron yield ratios measured at AGS, SPS, RHIC and ALICE
energies of nuclear collisions. The achieved quality of the fit per degree of
freedom is about 1.08. We confirm that the strangeness enhancement factor has a
peak at low AGS energies, while at and above the highest SPS energy of
collisions the chemical equilibrium of strangeness is observed. We argue that
the chemical equilibrium of strangeness, i.e. , observed
above the center of mass collision energy 4.3 GeV may be related to the
hadronization of quark gluon bags which have the Hagedorn mass spectrum, and,
hence, it may be a new signal for the onset of deconfinement
