    The centrality dependence of thermal parameters in Pb-Pb collisions at 158 GeV/nucleon
    (2001) Wheaton, Spencer Miles
    A review of the Hardon Gas model and its application to Pb+Pb CERN SPS collision data at a beam energy of 158 GeV/nucleon. The centrality dependence of the freeze-out parameters, characterizing both the hadron multiplicities and the transverse momentum spectra, are determined. This privides valuable information on the effect of the system size on chemical-and thermal frees-out and contributions towards the systematic understandig of the experimental data.

    The development and application of THERMUS : a statistical-thermal model analysis package for ROOT
    (2005) Wheaton, Spencer Miles; Cleymans, Jean
    A statistical-thermal model package, THERMUS, developed for incorporation into the ROOT framework of analysis, is presented. THERMUS, designed with applications to relativistic heavy-ion and elementary collisions of the baryon, strangeness and charge contents of he fireballs resulting from such collisions.
