Maxima in strangeness observed in heavy ion collisions using statistical models

description: Nucleus-Nucleus collisions enable the heating and compression of nuclei in order to probe matter under extreme temperature and energy density. With a resonance gas mode, of hadronic matter, Hagedorn came to the conclusion that on increasing the energy density, hadronic matter could exist above a limiting temperature of appriximately 160 MeV. Above this temperature it is expected that hadronic matter undergoes a phase transition to a state of deconfined fundamental quarks and gluons known as quark gluon plasma (QGP).
