Number of quarks and antiquarks

The important parameters are the number of created light quark pairs in a rapidity bin dNqq/dη = Nqq/2ηmax and the strangeness ratio fs = Nss / Nqq. Assuming isospin symmetry, Nuu = Nqq / 2 and Ndd = Nqq / 2, they determine the quark numbers:
Nu = Nprimary u + Nqq / 2, Nu = Nqq / 2,
Nd = Nprimary d + Nqq / 2, Nd = Nqq / 2,
Ns = Nss = fs Nqq, Ns = Nss = fs Nqq,
where the primary participant quark numbers Nprimary u and Nprimary d depend on the composition of the colliding nuclei.
