Strangeness and Charm Signatures of the Quark-Gluon Plasma
Mark I. Gorenstein (Bogolyubov ITP, Kiev, Ukraine, ITP Frankfurt,, Germany)
TL;DR
This paper explores how the production of strange particles, charmonium, and open charm in high-energy nucleus collisions can serve as indicators of the formation of quark-gluon plasma, using a statistical model approach.
Contribution
It introduces a statistical model framework to analyze strangeness and charm signals as signatures of quark-gluon plasma formation in relativistic collisions.
Findings
Strangeness yields increase with collision energy.
Charmonium suppression indicates deconfinement.
Open charm production correlates with plasma formation.
Abstract
Strangeness, charmonium and open charm yields in relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions are considered within statistical model approach as potential signals of the quark-gluon plasma.
