Production of Strange, Non-strange particles and Hypernuclei in an Excluded-Volume Model

TL;DR

This paper uses an excluded-volume thermodynamic model to analyze the production and ratios of strange and non-strange hadrons, light nuclei, and hypernuclei across a wide energy range from AGS to LHC, including rapidity spectra.

Contribution

It introduces a thermodynamically consistent excluded-volume model to systematically study hadron and hypernuclei production in heavy-ion collisions.

Findings

Successfully describes hadron yield ratios across energies

Analyzes hypernuclei and antinuclei production

Extends model to rapidity spectra

Abstract

We present a systematic study of production of strange and non-strange hadron yields and their ratios obtained in various experiments using our thermodynamically consistent excluded-volume model. We also analyze the production of light nuclei, hypernuclei and their antinuclei in terms of our excluded-volume model over a broad energy range starting from Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) to Large Hadron Collider (LHC) energies. Further, we extend our model for studying rapidity spectra of hadrons produced in heavy-ion collisions.
