Particle Yields in Heavy Ion Collisions and the Influence of Strong Magnetic Fields

It is expected that the magnetic fields in heavy ion collisions are very high. In this work, we investigate the effects of a strong magnetic field on particle ratios within a thermal model of particle production. We model matter as a free gas of baryons and mesons under the influence of an external...
