Formation of light nuclei at chemical freezeout: Description within a statistical thermal model

Understand

The thermal description of light nuclei at the chemical freeze-out has been investigated.

• First, I have verified the equilibration of the light nuclei and then introduced a new method to investigate the light nuclei formation.
• One can study the proximity between the phase space density of light nuclei ratios and their hadronic constituents e.g $\bar{d}/d$ and $(\bar{p}\bar{n}/pn)$.
• I have found that with the exclusion of the decay feed-down from the hadronic yields in the thermal model, the hadronic representations have good agreement with the light nuclei ratios.
