What can we learn from hydrodynamic analysis at RHIC?

Nuclear Theory 2008-11-26 v2

Abstract

We can establish a new picture, the perfect fluid sQGP core and the dissipative hadronic corona, of the space-time evolution of produced matter in relativistic heavy ion collisions at RHIC. It is also shown that the picture works well also in the forward rapidity region through an analysis based on a new class of the hydro-kinetic model and that this is a manifestation of rapid increase of entropy density in the vicinity of QCD critical temperature, namely deconfinement.
