Collective Evolution of Hot QCD Matter from the QGP to Freeze-Out

الأصل · EN

We present results on the evolution of <pₜ> with energy, for hadrons emerging from hadronization of a quark-gluon plasma possibly produced in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. We find that BNL-RHIC energy corresponds to the previously predicted plateau of <pₜ>, reminiscent of the assumed first-order QCD phase transition. Heavy hadrons are the best messengers of the transverse flow stall.
