The mesons and baryons production in nucleus-nucleus collisions at SPS and RHIC energies and quark-gluon plasma

Abstract

We use quasiparticle description of deconfined matter in nuclear collisions at finite temperature and chemical potential. We assume that evolution of expanding system is isentropic. Using theoretical formulas and experimental meaning for the average multiplicity of charged and neutral particles and also of net nucleons ($N-\bar{N}$) per unit central rapidity, we calculate the initial temperature $T_0$, and the volume $V_0$ for the collisions of heavy nuclei ($Pb+Pb$ and $Au+Au$) at SPS and RHIC energies. At calculations we use the conservation of entropy and of number net nucleons in initial plasma stage and on the stage of phase transition at temperature $T_c$, where we take into account the phase of constituent quarks $m_q$ and $m_s$. The spectra of baryons and mesons are calculated at temperature of thermal freeze-out $T_f = 120$ MeV. The quantitative characteristic of these spectra (for example, the normalization for baryons and mesons) are determined in the present model by initial state - quark-gluon plasma.
