Abstract
We analyze the centrality dependence of thermal parameters deduced from hadron multiplicities in Au+Au collisions at . Although the chemical freeze-out temperature and chemical potentials are found to be roughly centrality independent, the strangeness saturation factor increases with participant number toward unity, supporting the assumption of equilibrium freeze-out conditions in central collisions.
