Properties of quark matter produced in heavy ion collision

Abstract

We describe the hadronization of quark matter assuming that quarks creating hadrons coalesce from a continuous mass distribution. The pion and antiproton spectrum as well as the momentum dependence of the antiproton to pion ratio are calculated. This model reproduces fairly well the experimental data at RHIC energies.
