Critical Hadronization Pressure
Johann Rafelski, Jean Letessier
TL;DR
This paper proposes that the hadronization of quark-gluon plasma occurs at a critical pressure of 82 MeV/fm3, based on analysis of bulk properties observed at RHIC and SPS energies.
Contribution
It introduces the concept of a critical hadronization pressure, providing a new perspective on the conditions for quark-gluon plasma transition.
Findings
Hadronization occurs at a critical pressure of 82 MeV/fm3.
The critical pressure is consistent across RHIC and SPS energy ranges.
Bulk properties support the existence of a universal hadronization pressure.
Abstract
We discuss the bulk properties of QGP produced at RHIC obtained at time of hadronization. We argue that hadronization of quark--gluon plasma occurs at a critical pressure of 82 MeV/fm3, obtained for SPS energy range.
