Charm decay as a source of multistrange hadrons
arXiv:1310.2551 · doi:10.1088/1742-6596/509/1/012063
Abstract
We describe a newly formulated approach to account for charm production and decay in Statistical Hadronization approach. Considering Pb--Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 2.76$ TeV at LHC we show that charm hadron decays can be a significant contributor to the multistrange hadron abundance. We discuss the magnitude of expected effects as a function of charm yield.
