The Phase Transition to the Quark-Gluon Plasma and Its Effect on Hydrodynamic Flow

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.
