Hydro-inspired parameterizations of freeze-out in relativistic heavy-ion collisions

Nuclear Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Popular parameterizations of the freeze-out conditions in relativistic heavy-ion collisions are discussed. Similarities and differences between the blast-wave model and the single-freeze-out model, both used recently to interpret the RHIC data, are outlined. A non-boost-invariant extension of the single-freeze-out model is proposed and applied to describe the recent BRAHMS data.
