Abstract
Results of three dimensional hydrodynamic calculations with boost invariant longitudinal expansion are presented with special emphasis on the transverse momentum spectra of hadrons and production rates of dileptons. The effect and signatures of transverse collective motion are discussed in detail. The hydrodynamic results which are based on the assumption of the existence of a first order phase transition and formation of an equilibrium mixed phase are compared with cascade simulation where the mixed phase is modelled in terms of plasma droplets embedded in a pion gas. The comparison shows a great deal of similarity between the two approaches lending further support for the hydrodynamic approach.
Presented at the 6th International Conference on Ultra-Relativistic Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions — Quark Matter 1987, 24–28 August 1987, Nordkirchen, Federal Republic of Germany
