Abstract

The global variables like the transverse energy at midrapidity, the charged particle multiplicity at midrapidity and the total multiplicity of charged particles are evaluated in the single-freeze-out statistical model for different centrality bins at RHIC at sNN=130 and 200 GeV. Full description of decays of hadron resonances is applied in these estimations. The geometric parameters of the model are obtained from the fit to the final data on the pT spectra. The predicted values of the global variables agree qualitatively well with the experimental data. The centrality independence of the total number of charged particles per participant pair has been also reproduced.
