The phase transition to the quark-gluon plasma and its effect on hydrodynamic flow

  • Published:
Acta Physica Hungarica New Series Heavy Ion Physics

Abstract

It is shown that in ideal relativistic hydrodynamics a phase transition from hadron to quark and gluon degrees of freedom in the nuclear matter equation of state leads to a minimum in the excitation function of the transverse collective flow.
