On the Quantum Nature of a Fireball Created in Ultrarelativistic Nuclear Collisions | Chapter 4 | New Frontiers in Physical Science Research Vol. 1

 The fireball produced by the collision of relativistic nuclei is referred to as a quantum object in the article. Based on this, an attempt is made to offer an explanation for the variance in the hyperon yield data between the two studies, NA49 and NA57. It was demonstrated that a fireball can exist in both a quantum state with and without ignited Quark-Gluon Plasma using the fundamentals of quantum mechanics (QGP). The likelihood of QGP ignition rises with a rise in the collision energy of heavy ions. Nevertheless, even at nuclear collision energies much higher than the threshold QGP formation energy, which is mistakenly thought to be fixed and is actively sought after in contemporary heavy ion accelerators, the likelihood of a fireball forming without QGP ignition also remains nonzero. Thus, only half of the central heavy ion collisions at SPS energy of sNN = 17.3 GeV lead to the formation of a fireball consisting of deconfined matter (quarks and gluons), the other half of the collisions lead to the formation of a fireball from only hadronic matter, which is much higher than the assumed threshold energy of QGP formation in the region above of sNN = 3 GeV. (mesons, nucleons, hyperons etc.).
