spelling oai:open.uct.ac.za:11427/6508 Canonical strangeness conservation in the hadron gas model of relativistic heavy ion collisions Yacoob, Sahal Theoretical Physics Includes bibliographical references (leaves: 73-77) The CERN WA97 results display a strong strangeness enhancement at mid-rapidity which is dependent on the strangeness of the particle concernec, and saturates at values of participating nucleons greater than 120. These results are phenomenologically described by the mixed canonical ensemble, with canonical (exact) strangeness conservation involving all strange resonances, and grand canonical conservation of charge and baryon number. It is shown that the data are well described by an equilibrium hadron gas. Other explanations of these data are reviewed. 2014-08-13T20:03:20Z 2014-08-13T20:03:20Z 2001 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/6508 eng application/pdf Department of Physics Faculty of Science University of Cape Town
