Kinetic freeze-out temperature from yields of short-lived resonances
A method to determine the kinetic freeze-out temperature in heavy-ion collisions from measured yields of short-lived resonances is presented. The resonance production is treated in the framework of a thermal model with an evolution between chemical and kinetic freeze-outs. The yields of many short-lived resonances are suppressed at $T={T}_{\mathrm{kin}}<{T}_{\mathrm{ch}}$. We …
