Abstract

A thermodynamic model, constructed in the framework of the big-bang equilibrium model, is proposed and used to study the spectra of high-energy composite particles that can be seen in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Properties of the spectra are related to properties of the thermodynamic equilibrium region.
