Thermal Approach to RHIC

  • 1. H. Niewodniczanski Institute of Nuclear Physics, Cracow (Poland)

Description

Applications of a simple thermal model to ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions are presented. We compute abundances of various hadrons, including particles with strange quarks, the p(perpendicular) spectra, and the HBT radii for the pion. Surprising agreement is found, showing that the thermal approach can be used successfully to understand and describe the RHIC data. (author)
