Ξ−¯ Ξ triggered K/(π^+ + π^−) yield ratio: unveiling the microscopic hadronization mechanism
This thesis investigates the K±/(π+ + π−) yield ratio near Ξ − ¯Ξ pairs in pp collisions at mid-rapidity (|η| < 1) to distinguish between two competing models of strangeness enhancement: the rope hadronization model, implemented in PYTHIA, and the canonical statistical hadronization model, implemented in Thermal-FIST. The results from both models show strong agreement with experimental data from t
