Abstract

In this chapter we show how multihadron production can be related to thermodynamical considerations. Following a general introduction to the topic, we discuss the statistical hadronization model, in which each species is produced according to its phase space weight, and show that this leads to a universal hadronization temperature found in e + e − annihilation as well as in hadron-hadron and nucleus-nucleus collisions. In the final part we address deviations from a universal statistical hadronization description.

Es wurde schon vor längerer Zeit geschlossen, daß bei einem sehr energiereichen Stoß eines Kernteilchens auf ein anderes viele Mesonen mit einem Schlag erzeugt werden können.

Werner Heisenberg, Zeitschrift für Physik 126 (1949) 569

[It was concluded quite some time ago that in an energetic collision of one nuclear particle with another, many mesons could be created with one bang.
