Flow, spectra and HBT radii in heavy-ion collisions

Nuclear Theory 2014-11-20 v1

Abstract

The expansion of the fireball created in relativistic heavy ion collisions is described using the 3+1D hydrodynamical model. Experimentally observed transverse momentum spectra at different rapdities, elliptic flow and HBT correlations of produced particles can be reproduced. We give estimates of shear viscosity corrections at freeze-out, which we find important only for the elliptic flow coefficient.
