Abstract: (APS)
Finding out the universal conditions describing the freeze-out parameters has been the subject of various phenomenological studies. In the present work, we introduce a new condition based on constant-trace anomaly (or interaction measure) calculated in the hadron resonance gas (HRG) model. Various extensions to the ideal HRG which are conjectured to take into consideration different types of interactions have been analyzed. When comparing HRG thermodynamics to that of lattice quantum chromodynamics, we conclude that the hard-core radii are practically irrelevant, especially when HRG includes all resonances with masses less than 2 GeV. It is found that the constant-trace anomaly (or interaction measure) agrees well with most previous conditions.
