Abstract
This paper summarizes the results of an analysis of hadron abundances in high energy e+e−, pp and p̄p collisions at several centre of mass energies, performed within a statistical-thermal framework [1,2]. The strikingly good agreement between data and model indicates that the hadronization process of quarks and gluons in a high energy collisions has indeed the characteristics of a pure statistical one, namely a given local set of partons can reach any multi-hadronic state with equal probability, provided that all involved conservation laws are fulfilled.
