Average temperature and multiplicities ofe + e − annihilation

Chemical equilibration of strangeness

“…All models fulfil this basic requirement with the exception of the work of Hoang and Cork [19] and Hoang [20] for e + + e − collisions. Some empirical formula for the particle yields is used, which is badly justified.…”

“…Some empirical formula for the particle yields is used, which is badly justified. Therefore all results in [19,20] should be taken with care.…”

“…It is now commonly agreed that the particle production is dominated by resonance production mechanisms. Therefore the resonance states are included in the partition function of all calculations in table 1 except for [19,20]. On the other hand, their decay is sometimes neglected [26,30] when calculations are compared with experimental data.…”
