Strangeness chemical equilibration in a quark-gluon plasma
Strangeness chemical equilibration in a quark-gluon plasma
We study, in the dynamically evolving QGP fireball formed in relativistic heavy ion collisions at RHIC and LHC, the growth of strangeness yield toward and beyond the chemical equilibrium. We account for the contribution of the direct strangeness production and evaluate the thermal-QCD strangeness production mechanisms. The specific yield of …
