Zusammenfassung: | The statistical hadronization model has been successful in extracting
information at chemical freeze-out in heavy-ion collisions. At RHIC, with a
collision energy of $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV, many different ion species have
been used for $A$+$A$ collisions. This allows for a scan across the charge
fraction $Y_Q=Z/A$, where $Z$ is the proton number and $A$ is the baryon
number. We first make predictions for $A$+$A$ collisions that do not yet have
published experimental data on hadron yield ratios (O+O, Ru+Ru, Zr+Zr). We then
use both the experimental and predicted yield ratios to perform thermal fits
across $Y_Q$, enabling us to extract $s/n_B$ and other thermodynamic
information at chemical freeze-out. Using the relation between $s/n_B$ and
$Y_Q$, we can calculate a new constraint on the finite temperature equation of
state at finite densities. We discuss implications of this constraint and
propose future runs that can help connect to the equation of state relevant for
neutron star mergers. |
