Strange hadron resonances and freeze-out within a statistical model Association of at least two resonances could allow the calculation of chemical freeze-out temperature and the interacting phase lifetime between chemical and thermal freeze-out. Including the signal suppression due to freeze-out conditions : The model should take into account resonance regeneration. Giorgio Torrieri and Johann Rafelski Phys.Lett.B509:239-245, 2001
Probing Freeze-out via UrQMD Rescattering probabilities of the resonance decay products are studied. The microscopic study show also a chemical freeze-out followed by a thermal freeze-out. The dynamics is described in term of inelastic and (pseudo)elastic collision rates. Au+Au at 200 GeV Au+Au at 200 GeV UrQMD predicts a relative supression of reconstructable resonances compared to thermal estimation, and a modification of their spectra.

Summary • Clear signal of * (1520) and *(1385) is visible in p+p collisions in STAR data at sNN= 200 GeV. • First results on the production of * (1520) are given in p+p collisions. • * (1520) signal in peripheral minimum bias events of Au+Au collisions is observed in two centrality bins : 80% to 60% and 60% to 40%. *(1520) signal in central data is also consistent with peripheral points. • A comparison of * (1520)/ ratio in p+p and Au+Au collisions shows a decrease of this ratio, already in peripheral Au+Au collisions. This decrease could be explained by the rescattering of daugthers particles between a chemical and thermal freeze-out. • * (1520) and *(1385) resonances could give us a unique chance of probing the rescattering phase of Au+Au collisions and providing information on the collision dynamics.
