Description
The statistical hadronization model is very successful in reproducing the experimental data in Pb-Pb collisions, both for light-quark and heavy-quark hadrons. In particular the detailed comparisons for charmonium lead us to infer quasi-complete thermalization of charm quarks in QGP and concurrent hadronization with the lighter quarks. The large yield measured for the Λc baryon at the LHC can only be explained in the model by assuming a large number of missing charm-quark baryon resonances.
For the beauty quarks, the model comparison to data suggests incomplete thermalization, not surprisingly, given the significantly-heavier b quark.
