Hadroproduction in heavy-ion collisions

Abstract

The shapes of invariant differential cross section for charged particle production as function of transverse momentum measured in heavy-ion collisions are analyzed. The data measured at RHIC and LHC are treated as function of energy density according to a recent theoretical approach. The Boltzmann-like statistical distribution is extracted from the whole statistical ensemble of produced hadrons using the introduced model. Variation of the temperature, characterizing this exponential distribution, is studied as function of energy density.
