Hydrodynamical analysis of symmetric nucleus-nucleus collisions at SPS energies

Conference ·
OSTI ID:266792
We present a theoretical study of ultrarelativistic heavy-ion data obtained at the CERN/SPS by the NA49 collaboration using 3+1- dimensional relativistic hydrodynamics. We find excellent agreement with the rapidity spectra of negative hadrons and protons and with the correlation measurements for Pb + Pb at 160 AGeV (preliminary results). Within our model this implies that for Pb + Pb a quark- gluon plasma of initial volume 174 fm{sup 3} with a lifetime 3.4 fm/c was formed.
