Abstract

The relativistic hydrodynamical model HYLANDER-C is used to give estimates for single inclusive particle momentum spectra in s\sqrt{s} = 200 GeV/nucleonGeV/nucleon Au+Au collisions that will be investigated experimentally in the near future. The predictions are based on initial conditions that the initial fireball has a longitudinal extension of 1.6 fmfm and an initial energy density of 30.8 GeV/fm3GeV/fm^3 as obtained from a cascade model. For the collision energy considered here, different stopping scenarios are explored for the first time. Our calculations give particle yields of the order of 10,000 to 20,000 charged particles per event.
