Relativistic Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions: Zone of Reactions and Space-Time Structure of a Fireball
arXiv:1004.0431 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevC.81.031902
Abstract
A zone of reactions is determined and then exploited as a tool in studying the space-time structure of an interacting system formed in a collision of relativistic nuclei. The time dependence of the reaction rates integrated over spatial coordinates is also considered. Evaluations are made with the help of the microscopic transport model UrQMD. The relation of the boundaries of different zones of reactions and the hypersurfaces of sharp chemical and kinetic freeze-outs is discussed.
