The three-dimensional (2 + 1)-fluid model for relativistic nuclear collisions

Abstract

A new multi-fluid model is constructed for describing high-energy heavy-ion collisions. It is assumed that two baryonic fluids formed by the projectile and target nucleons produce a third hadronic fluid via inelastic nucleon-nucleon collisions. The production and expansion dynamics of the hadronic fluid are investigated in detail. Two equations of state for this fluid are considered: one corresponding to an ideal gas of pions and resonances and another one corresponding to an interacting hadron gas described by the relativistic mean-field model. The effects of freeze-out and non-zero pion chemical potential are investigated. The rapidity and transverse momentum spectra of secondary pions are compared with the experimental data forS + S collisions at 200 GeV/nucleon.
