Fluctuations of Particle Ratios and the Abundance of Hadronic Resonances

Fluctuations of Particle Ratios and the Abundance of Hadronic Resonances

We argue that the event-by-event fluctuations of the ratio of positively charged over negatively charged pions provides a measurement of the number of rho and omega mesons right after hadronization. This finding can be utilized to put the hypothesis of chemical equilibration in relativistic heavy ion collisions to a test. …
