From quark-gluon plasma to hadron spectra
Abstract
Results on initial transverse energy production based on NLO perturbative QCD calculation with final state saturation of produced minijets are used to fix the initial energy density of produced matter. Assuming rapid thermalization, this provides the initial conditions for a hydrodynamic description of the expansion of final matter. Given a prescription of the the decoupling of particles from the thermal system to free particles, final transverse spectra of hadrons and integrated quantities like multiplicity and transverse energy can be calculated in the central rapidity region. Results are reported and compared with measurements.
