System size and Multiplicity dependence of Chemical freeze-out parameters at the Large Hadron Collider Energies
Abstract
The chemical freeze-out temperature and strangeness saturation factor are analyzed across various collision systems and multiplicities using statistical thermal models with canonical and grand canonical ensembles.
The collision system and multiplicity dependence of chemical freeze-out temperature (T_{rm ch}) and strangeness saturation factor (γ_{s}) are obtained by studying the particle ratios at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) energies. Here, we consider the new results in pp at 13 TeV, p+Pb at s_{rm NN} = 5.02 TeV, Xe+Xe at s_{rm NN} = 5.44 TeV and Pb+Pb at s_{rm NN} = 5.02 TeV along with the earlier results in pp at s = 7 TeV and Pb+Pb at s_{rm NN} = 2.76 TeV. A statistical thermal model is used to extract the chemical freeze-out parameters in different multiplicity classes. To understand the particle production from small to large collision systems two ensembles namely, canonical and grand canonical have been considered in this study. A clear observation of multiplicity dependence of T_{rm ch} and γ_{s} is observed. The values obtained in high-multiplicity pp collisions are found to be similar to the peripheral Pb+Pb collisions. A final state midrapidity charged particle multiplicity density of around 20-30 appears to be a threshold below which, the chemical freeze-out temperature is lower than the kinetic freeze-out temperature.
