• TTch ch cannot be much smaller than Tcannot be much smaller than Tc c : hadronic rates for : hadronic rates for T< TT< Tc c are too small to produce multistrange hadrons (are too small to produce multistrange hadrons (ΩΩ,..),..)
• Only near TOnly near Tc c multiparticle scattering becomes important multiparticle scattering becomes important ( collective excitations …) – proportional to high power of ( collective excitations …) – proportional to high power of
