WHY ?

Freeze-out s/T^3 = 7

A. Bazazov et al. (HotQCD Collaboration), arXiv:1407.6387

Freeze-out E/N = 1.08 Gev

WHY ?

Questions

1) Why do elementary high energy collisionsshow a statistical behavior?

2) Why is strangeness production universally suppressedin elementary collisions?

3) Why (almost) no strangeness suppression in nuclear collisions?

4) Why hadron freeze-out for s/T^3 = 7 or E/N=1.08 Gev

Is there another non-kinetic mechanism providing acommon origin of the statistical features?

The deep meaning of the result

based on

is that the entanglement entropy density per unit horizon area is finite and universal .. In QFT

A possible understanding of the phenomenological result

7/ 3 Ts

is that it corresponds to the entanglement entropy through thecolor confinement horizon due to the string tension.

TOY MODEL

The Wrobleski factor increases from 0.25 in elementary collisionsto 0.36 in the toy (pions and kaons) model.

Horizon: One directional membrane through which nothingcan leak (classically)

Near the event horizon theory becomes two dimensional withits metric identified with the (r-t) section of the originalmetric.

Ingoing (say left moving) modes lost inside the horizon; Theycannot contribute to the near horizon theory, hence chiral.
