Approaches to QGP Detection (II): - Large cross-section probes -
Info: ? Conditions at mixed, hadronic & freeze-out phases.
1. Strangeness Enhancement:
Large gluon densities (gg? ss)
and/or (partial) decrease of ms
Production of K+, K-, L, X, W mesons:
- Strange hadrons
2. In-medium vector mesons :
(Partial) chiral symmetry restoration
Mass, width of r, w,F. BR F ? e+e-,K+K- (dMɝ MeV)
- Electrons, Muons, Charged Hadrons
3. Baryo-chemical potential at freeze-out:
4. Temp./velocities at freeze-out :
Expansion dynamics mixed phase
mT distributions below ~2 GeV/c:
