Hadronic resonances measured experimentally by invariant mass reconstruction in relativistic heavy-ion collisions contain contributions from different production channels and/or stages, i.e., leftovers of primordial hadronization, regenerations in hadronic rescatterings and those decayed from heavier resonances. We use a UrQMD model to systematically calculate the proportions of these different channels in final observation of resonances K*(892), Σ*(1385), ϕ(1020), Ξ*(1530) and Λ(1520) and investigate the time evolution of these resonance productions in AA collisions at [Formula: see text], 62.4 and 200 GeV. We study the yields, transverse momentum spectra and elliptic flows of these resonances and discuss the survival information of the primordial hadronization in final observations.

The present paper aims at testing a very simple approach to interpret the characteristics of inclusive production of pions in high energy NA and AA collisions by a somewhat in-depth analysis of the same for NN interactions; and also at reporting here thus some interesting observations made on the nature of rapidity and transverse momentum spectra of the produced pions. And this approach is built upon a newly offered master formula holding the key for converting the results of high energy nucleon–nucleon (NN) collision to the corresponding observables on differential and inclusive cross-sections for both nucleon–nucleus and nucleus–nucleus (heavy ion) collisions in a generalized form. The proposed formulae, used in a somewhat phenomenological way, can provide modestly reliable parametrization of data in the broad range of collision energy and the varied range of projectile-target combinations. This opens up the possibility of understanding in a quite unified manner the large amount of data on the rapidity and transverse momentum spectra in a wide range of interactions and energies starting right from ISR, rather Bevelac, to the relativistic heavy ion collisions (RHIC) via the various collider scales of energy. The agreements between the data and calculations, in most cases, are quite satisfactory both qualitatively and quantitatively. While highlighting this success, the limitation of the approach has also been pointed out in the end as clearly and categorically as possible.

Abstract The study of hadronic resonances plays an important role both in pp and in heavy-ion collisions. Since the lifetimes of short-lived resonances are comparable with the lifetime of the fireball formed in heavy-ion collisions, regeneration and re-scattering effects can modify the measured yields, especially at low transverse momentum. Measurements in pp collisions at different energies constitute a baseline for studies in heavy-ion collisions and provide constraints for tuning QCD-inspired event generators. Furthermore, high multiplicity pp collisions, where the density and the volume of the system are expected to be larger compared to minimum bias pp collisions, can help in the search for the onset of collective phenomena. Here we present recent results on short-lived hadronic resonances obtained by the ALICE experiment at LHC energies in different collision systems (pp, p–Pb and Pb–Pb) including new results obtained in Xe–Xe collisions. The ALICE results on transverse momentum spectra, yields and their ratios to long-lived particles will be discussed.

The transverse momentum spectra of secondary η particles produced in P+P, D + Au and Au + Au interactions at [Formula: see text] at different centralities have been studied in the light of a nonextensive thermodynamical approach. The results and the possible thermodynamical insights, thus obtained, about the hadronizing process have also been discussed in detail.

We find the distributions of shower partons initiated by heavy quarks c and b by studying the fragmentation functions in the framework of the recombination model. The transverse momentum spectra of heavy flavored mesons are predicted with these distributions. We find that the contribution from the recombination of thermal-shower partons is an important part in the total spectrum for the mesons. We predict the heavy flavored meson productions for different centralities with the heavy quark fugacities fitted by the experimental data of J/ψ transverse momentum spectra in Au+Au collisions.

We present a comprehensive study of hadronic resonance production in pp, p-Pb and Pb-Pb collisions at different Large Hadron Collider (LHC) energies. In particular, the production of hadronic resonances, such as ρ(770)0, Κ*(892)0, φ(1020), Σ(1385)±, Λ(1520) and Ξ(1530)0 will be discussed in detail. In heavy-ion collisions, hadronic resonances are sensitive to the re-scattering and regeneration processes occurring between chemical freeze-out and kinetic freeze-out due to their short lifetimes. The measurements in pp and p-Pb collisions are used as a reference for heavy-ion collisions and to search for the onset of collective phenomena. We will report on the transverse momentum spectra, integrated yields, mean transverse momenta, particle ratios and nuclear modification factors of hadronic resonances. The results will be compared to those of other experiments, and to theoretical models and Monte Carlo generators.
