Chemical equilibrium study in nucleus-nucleus collisions at relativistic energies
We present a detailed study of chemical freeze-out in nucleus-nucleus collisions at beam energies of $11.6A$, $30A$, $40A$, $80A$, and $158A\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\text{GeV}$. By analyzing hadronic multiplicities within the statistical hadronization approach, we have studied the strangeness production as a function of center-of-mass energy and of the parameters of the source. We …
