Abstract
It is now well established that particle abundances can be described by statistical-thermal models. In such a way, a large number of observables can be reproduced with a small number of parameters, namely the temperature, baryo-chemical potential and a factor measuring the degree of strangeness saturation. Here we focus on the centrality dependence of the hadron multiplicities and adjust the thermal parameters so as to reproduce the experimental data.
