Hydrodynamic emission of strange and non-strange particles at RHIC and LHC

The hydrodynamic model is used to describe the single-particle spectra and elliptic flow of hadrons at RHIC and to predict the emission angle dependence of HBT correlations at RHIC and LHC energies.Comment: 6 pages LaTeX, 3 postscript figures.

Particle abundances and spectra in the hydrodynamical description of relativistic nuclear collisions with light projectiles

We show that a hydrodynamical model with continuous particle emission instead of sudden freeze out may explain both the observed strange particle and pion abundances and transverse mass spectra for light projectile at SPS energy. We found that the observed enhancement of pion production corresponds, within the context of continuous emission, to the maximal entropy production.Comment: 11 pages, 2 figure
