Constant Trace Anomaly as a Universal Condition for the Chemical Freeze-Out

Abstract

Finding out universal conditions describing the freeze-out parameters was a subject of various phenomenological studies. In the present work, we introduce a new condition based on constant trace anomaly (or interaction measure) calculated in the hadron resonance gas (HRG) model. Various extensions to the {\it ideal} HRG which are conjectured to take into consideration different types of interactions have been analysed. When comparing HRG thermodynamics to that of lattice quantum chromodynamics, we conclude that the hard-core radii are practically irrelevant, especially when HRG includes all resonances with masses less than $2~$GeV. It is found that the constant trace anomaly (or interaction measure) agrees well with most of previous conditions.
