Freeze-out in hydrodynamical models in relativistic heavy ion collisions

Abstract

Freeze-out of particles across 3-dimensional space-time hypersurface with space-like normal is discussed in a simple kinetic model. The final momentum distribution of emitted particles shows a non-exponential transverse momentum spectrum, which is in quantitative agreement with recently measured SPS pion and $h^-$ spectra.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figure.
