Li Yi Examine the species and beam-energy dependenceof particle spectra using Tsallis Statistics Zebo Tang, Ming Shao, Zhangbu Xu • Introduction & Motivation • Why and how to implement Tsallis statistics in Blast-Wave framework • Results • strange hadrons vs. light hadrons • J/y radial flow • beam energy dependence • Conclusion
Thermalization and Radial flow From Blast-Wave Matter flows – all particles have the same collective velocity: Multi-strange decouple earlier than light hadrons
Decouple with pion and proton Decouple at chemical freeze-out Hydrodynamics evolution Light hadrons Multi-strange W Ulrich Heinz, arXiv:0901.4355 Multi-strange particle spectra can be well described by the same hydrodynamics at the same freeze-out as light hadrons in contrast to the Blast-wave results

C48, 2462(1993) random Extract thermal temperature Tfo and velocity parameter T Blast-Wave Model • Source is assumed to be: • Local thermal equilibrated Boltzmann distribution • Boosted radically • Temperature and T are global quantities Nu Xu BGBW: Boltzmann-Gibbs Blast-Wave
Limitation of the Blast-wave • Strong assumption on local thermal equilibrium • Arbitrary choice of pT range of the spectra • Flow velocity <bT>=0.2 in p+p • Lack of non-extensive quantities to describe the evolution from p+p to central A+A collisions • mT spectra in p+p collisions Levy function or mT power-law • mT spectra in A+A collisions Boltzmann or mT exponential

Centrality dependence for T and <bT> • Multi-strange hadrons decouple earlier • Hadron rescattering at hadronic phase doesn’t produce a collective radial flow, instead, it drives the system off equilibrium • Partons achieve thermal equilibrium in central collisions

Beam energy dependence • The radial flow velocity at SPS is smaller than that at RHIC. • Freeze-out temperatures are similar at RHIC and SPS. • The non-equilibrium parameter (q-1) is small in central nucleus-nucleus collisions at RHIC and SPS except a larger (q -1) value for non-strange hadrons at RHIC energy

Summary • Identified particle spectra from SPS to RHIC has been analyzed with Tsallis statistics in Blast-wave description (light hadrons, multi-strange hadrons, charmonium) • Partonic phase • Partons achieve thermal quilibrium in central heavy-ion collisions • J/y are not thermalized and disfavor regeneration • Multi-strange hadrons decouple earlier • Hadronic phase • Hadronic rescattering doesn’t produce collective radial flow • It drives the system off equilibrium • Radial flow reflects that when the multi-strange decouples
