Statistical Hadronization probed by resonances

We study to what extent a measurement of the $m_\bot$ spectra for hadrons and their resonances can resolve ambiguities in statistical model description of particle production. We describe in quantitative analysis how physical assumptions about the freeze-out geometry and dynamics influence the particle spectra. Considering ratios of $m_\bot$ distribution of resonance-particle ratios (such as $K^*/K$, $\Sigma^*/\Lambda, \eta'/\eta$) we observe significant sensitivity to fireball freeze-out geometry and flow dynamics.
