Abstract
Heavy-ion collisions at high energies create extreme conditions akin to those found in the early cosmos.
Understanding the transition from quarks and gluons to hadrons and unraveling the characteristics of nuclear matter demands a comprehensive analysis of particle creation in such scenarios. In this paper, we leverage the Statistical Hadronization Model (SHM) to scrutinize the impact of resonances and hadronic interactions on particle yields in heavy-ion collisions. The SHM provides a robust framework for characterizing particle creation, integrating statistical mechanics principles with the properties of known resonances to forecast particle yields. By considering the available phase space and the probabilities of various hadronic interactions, the SHM facilitates a deeper comprehension of the particle composition observed in experiments. Our study conducts a meticulous examination of particle yields across a spectrum of heavy-ion collision scenarios, encompassing diverse collision energies and system sizes. Through a comparative analysis with experimental data, we elucidate the role of resonances and hadronic interactions in shaping the final particle spectra. Our findings underscore the substantial influence of resonances on particle production, particularly evident in the contribution of decay products, especially
for particles with higher masses. Furthermore, we observe deviations from complete thermalization due to the influence of hadronic interactions on particle yields. These insights contribute significantly to our understanding of the fundamental mechanisms governing particle creation in heavy-ion collisions, advancing our knowledge of nuclear matter under extreme conditions and refining the statistical hadronization model. Our study underscores the imperative for the SHM to account for both resonances and hadronic interactions to accurately predict particle yields in heavy-ion collisions. Continued advancements in modeling will further illuminate the dynamics of the early cosmos and the quark-gluon plasma, fostering deeper insights into these fundamental phenomena.
