Early thermalization at RHIC
Ulrich W. Heinz, Peter F. Kolb
It is shown that recent RHIC data on hadron spectra and elliptic flow can be excellently reproduced within a hydrodynamic description of the collision dynamics, and that this provi…
From SPS to RHIC: Breaking the Barrier to the Quark-Gluon Plasma
Ulrich W. Heinz
After 15 years of heavy-ion collision experiments at the AGS and SPS, the recent turn-on of RHIC has initiated a new stage of quark-gluon plasma studies. I review the evidence for…
Centrality dependence of multiplicity, transverse energy, and elliptic flow from hydrodynamics
P. F. Kolb, U. Heinz, P. Huovinen +2
The centrality dependence of the charged multiplicity, transverse energy, and elliptic flow coefficient is studied in a hydrodynamic model, using a variety of different initializat…
Multi-Boson Effects in Bose-Einstein Interferometry
Ulrich Heinz
Multi-boson symmetrization effects on two-particle Bose-Einstein interferometry are studied for ensembles with arbitrary multiplicity distributions. In the general case one finds i…
Radial and elliptic flow at RHIC: further predictions
P. Huovinen, P. F. Kolb, U. Heinz +2
Using a hydrodynamic model, we predict the transverse momentum dependence of the spectra and the elliptic flow for different hadrons in Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s) = 130 A GeV. The…
