  3. Motivations • Particle ratios • Sensitivity to collision dynamics • Check chemical equilibrium assumption • K-/K+, p/p ratios A Scenario Collisions Chemical equilibrium state？ Thermal equilibrium state Freeze-out Masashi Kaneta / Hiroshima univ.

  4. Masashi Kaneta / Hiroshima univ.

  5. PID • Selection between K and p Masashi Kaneta / Hiroshima univ.

  6. NA44 acceptance Masashi Kaneta / Hiroshima univ.

  7. Selection of centrality Masashi Kaneta / Hiroshima univ.

  8. Ratios as a function of Pt and centrality • Those ratios are measured at the downstream (~20m) of collision point. • A effect of decayed particles is included in it. Masashi Kaneta / Hiroshima univ.

  9. Effect of decayed particles • Tools • RQMD : y, pT distribution • MC simulation : effect of acceptance As first step, lambda decay effect to proton yield is studied Example of Pt distribution pass p,p,L,L through NA44 detectors Correction factor for p/p ratio As systematic error { dN/dy: ±30% mt slope: ±10% Masashi Kaneta / Hiroshima univ.

  10. Strangeness neutral hadron gas Masashi Kaneta / Hiroshima univ.

  11. Absolute ratio and ratio around mid rapidity • NA44 acceptance for Kaons and protons are around mid rapidity. • compare ratios as a function of rapidity and absolute ratios in RQMD. NA44 preliminary RQMD ver 1.08 (b<2fm) ( average) Kaons : ratios around the mid rapidity is the same with absolute ratio. protons : both ratios are close in the region dy£1.6.

  12. Comparison with model prediction Masashi Kaneta / Hiroshima univ.

  13. Thermal freeze-out temperature Masashi Kaneta / Hiroshima univ.

  14. Summary In Pb+Pb central collisions • Ratios • K-/K+and p/p ratios are flat as a function of Pt • Ratios are insensitive in the central region (top 8.5%) • Chemical properties • Assuming the system is in chemical equilibrium state • TemperatureTch ~ 175MeV • Chemical potentialmq ~ 80MeV, ms ~ 30MeV • Tch³ Tf0 Masashi Kaneta / Hiroshima univ.
