Blast-wave snapshots from RHIC
read the original abstract
I present fits with the so-called blast-wave model to single-particle spectra and HBT correlations from Au+Au collisions at a CMS energy of 130 AGeV. There is only little choice of freeze-out temperature and transverse flow velocity for which the model fits both the identified spectra and the correlation radii just well enough not to be excluded. The observed steep M_t dependence of R_side leads to a temperature which it is problematic to interpret. The applicability of the model for the freeze-out description is thus questioned.

Finite Volume Effects on Transverse Momentum Spectra at LHC and RHIC Using a Blast-Wave Model with Planck Transformed Temperatures
A finite-volume blast-wave model with Planck-transformed lab-frame temperatures and chemical potentials produces physically reasonable freeze-out parameters and volumes when fitted to pion pT data, while the conventio...
