- Thermal model in high energy physics
I can only find papers relating to how they've used the model but nothing about the model.
The thermal model for particle production is a theoretical framework used to describe the production of particles in high-energy collisions, such as those that occur in particle accelerators. It is based on the assumption that the particles are in thermal equilibrium and follow the laws of thermodynamics.
The thermal model explains particle production by considering the temperature and energy density of the system. As the temperature increases, more particles are produced, and as the energy density increases, more massive particles are produced.
Some key resources for understanding the thermal model include research papers and articles published in scientific journals, textbooks on particle physics and thermodynamics, and lectures and presentations by experts in the field.
The thermal model has been used to study the properties of the quark-gluon plasma, a state of matter that is believed to have existed in the early universe. It has also been used to understand the production of exotic particles, such as heavy quarkonia and charmonium states.
The thermal model is often compared and contrasted with other models, such as the statistical hadronization model and the string fragmentation model. These models all attempt to explain the same phenomenon, but they use different theoretical frameworks and assumptions.
