Abstract
We show that all central rapidity hadron yields measured in Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN=2.76 TeV are well described by the chemical nonequilibrium statistical hadronization model (SHM), where the chemically equilibrated quark-gluon plasma source breaks up directly into hadrons. SHM parameters are obtained as a function of centrality of colliding ions, and we compare CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) results with Brookhaven National Laboratory Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) results. We predict yields of unobserved hadrons and address antimatter production. The physical properties of the quark-gluon plasma fireball particle source show universality of hadronization conditions at LHC and RHIC.
