Abstract
Possible hadronization of supercooled QGP, created in heavy ion collisions at RHIC and SPS, is discussed within a Bjorken hydrodynamic model. Such a hadronization is expected to be a very fast shock-like process, what, if hadronization coincides or shortly followed by freeze out, could explain a part of the HBT puzzle, i.e. the flash-like particle emission (). HBT data also show that the expansion time before freeze out is very short (). In this work we discuss question of supercooled QGP and the timescale of the reaction.
