Analyzed particle yields from SPS and RHIC data.

Predicted results for LHC energies.

Abstract

We consider the chemical freeze-out of $\Xi$, $\overline\Xi$ and $\phi$ multistrange hadrons within a Statistical Hadronization Model inspired approach. We study particle yields across a wide range of reaction energy and centrality from NA49 at SPS and STAR at RHIC experiments. We constrain the physical conditions present in the fireball source of strange hadrons, and anticipate results expected at LHC.
