35. Particle ratio and statistical models • One assumes that particles are produced by a thermalizedsystem with temperature T and baryon chemical potential • The number of particles of mass mper unit volume is : These models reproduce the ratios of particle yields withonly two (or three )parameters 35 35

37. A. Tawfik ; arXiv:hep-ph/0508244v3 22 Mar 2006 STAR Coll., Nucl. Phys. A 757 (2005) 102 • Statistical methods have become an important tool to study the properties • of the fireball created in high energy heavy ion collisions, where they • succeed admirably in reproducing measured yield ratios. • Can this success betaken as evidence that the matter produced in these collisions has reached thermal and chemical equilibrium? • Can the temperature and chemical potential values extracted from such statistical model fits be interpreted as theequilibrium properties of the collision matter?

45. BorisTomasic, arXiv:nucl-th/0304079 v1 25 Apr 2003 blast-wave model Pions, nucleons and also kaons decouple all quite suddenly from the whole transverse profile of the fireball. For all of them the freeze-out happens at the same proper time, measured in a frame that co-moves longitudinally with the fluid element of the expanding firebal The radial density distribution at the freeze-out is uniform. Longitudinal expansion is boost-invariant. In this study, the transverse expansion is parametrized through rapidity, which depends linearly on the radial coordinate. 45
