Abstract
| At the LHC energies near chemical freezeout, the chemical potential is expected to be zero due to particles and antiparticles being produced almost in equal numbers. However, considering the same case at the kinetic freezeout temperature is not trivial. The kinetic freeze-out of particles is a highly complex phenomenon. We argue that there can be a finite total chemical potential at the kinetic freezeout, and its importance cannot be ignored. Primarily, this study considers the importance of chemical potentials at the kinetic freeze-out stage. During the hadronic phase, several processes may occur, contributing to an imbalance in particle-antiparticle, giving rise to a finite chemical potential (µ). This prompts us to look into the effect of chemical potential in TeV pp collisions at the kinetic freeze-out using the non-extensive Tsallis distribution function. |
