Thermal models of ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6475423
Single-particle pseudorapidity, rapidity and transverse momentum distributions of secondaries produced in nucleus-nucleus central collisions at 14.6 and 200 A GeV are analyzed using the isotropic fireball, Boltzmann and hydrodynamical models. Calculations using a transverse hydrodynamical model with a first order phase transition in the equation of state from quark-gluon plasma to final state hadrons are compared to experimental transverse momentum spectra. 15 refs., 6 figs.
