Multiplicities and bulk thermodynamic quantities at \mathversion{bold}{$\sqrt{s_{NN}}=130$} GeV with SHARE

Abstract

We introduce the Statistical Hadronization with Resonances (SHARE) suite of programs and perform a study of particle multiplicities as well as bulk thermodynamic quantities for the RHIC Au--Au reactions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=130$ GeV. We also show that the statistical hadronization model, with parameters fitted to match pion, proton and hyperon ratios, in turn correctly and consistently reproduces rapidity particle multiplicity.
