Temperature and fluid velocity on the freeze-out surface from $\pi$, $K$, $p$ spectra in pp, p--Pb and Pb--Pb collisions

Abstract

We present a new approach to take into account resonance decays in the blast-wave model fits of identified hadron spectra. Thanks to pre-calculated decayed particle spectra, we are able to extract, in a matter of seconds, the multiplicity dependence of the single freeze-out temperature $T_{\mathrm{fo}}$, average fluid velocity $⟨{\beta }_{\mathrm{T}}⟩$, velocity exponent $n$, and the volume $dV/dy$ of an expanding fireball. In contrast to blast-wave fits without resonance feed-down, our approach results in a freeze-out temperature of $T_{\mathrm{fo}}\approx 150\text{MeV}$, which has only weak dependence on multiplicity and collision system. Finally, we discuss separate chemical and kinetic freeze-outs separated by partial chemical equilibrium.
