The transverse energy per charged particle estimates in the framework of a statistical model Original Research Article

The transverse energies and the charged particle multiplicities at midrapidity as well as their ratio, dET/dη|mid/dNch/dη|mid, are evaluated in a statistical model with expansion for the wide range of heavy-ion collisions, from AGS to RHIC at View the MathML source. Full description of decays of hadron resonances is applied in calculations of both dET/dη|mid and dNch/dη|mid. The predictions of the model at the freeze-out parameters, established independently from observed particle yields and pT spectra, agree well with the experimental data.
