Abstract: (APS)
The equation of state of baryon-symmetric hadronic matter with hard-sphere interactions is studied. It is assumed that mesons M are pointlike, but baryons B and antibaryons B¯ have the same hard-core radius rB. Three possibilities are considered: (1) the BB and BB¯ interactions are the same; (2) baryons do not interact with antibaryons; (3) the BB¯, MB, and MB¯ interactions are negligible. By choosing the parameter rB=0.3–0.6 fm, we calculate the nucleon to pion ratio as a function of temperature and perform the fit of hadron yields measured in central Pb+Pb collisions at sNN=2.76TeV. New nontrivial effects in the interacting hadron resonance gas at temperatures 150–200 MeV are found.
