Thermal hadronization and Black Holes

In this seminar I will present a conjecture relating thermal hadron production appearring in various high energy collision experiments to the physics of black holes following the recent paper by Helmut Satz et. al. The concept is based on an observation that confinement of quarks inside hadrons by the strong force is similar to matter confinement provided by black holes. In this picture the counterpart of Hawking radiation is expected to provide a common mechanism for thermal hadron production in high energy collisions from electron-positron anihilation to heavy ion collisions. It is also a part of deep relation between gauge theories and gravity. The aim of the presentation is to show problems and phenomenas scientist are faced in the hadron physics and approaches developed to study them.
