We show that the remaining internal longitudinal flow of colliding quarks in nuclei offers a natural explanation for the diversity of rapidity spectral shapes observed in Pb--Pb 158AGeV nuclear collisions. Thus QGP sudden hadronization reaction picture is a suitable approach to explain the rapidity spectra of hadrons produced.

Search for QGP and thermal freeze-out of strange hadrons

After reviewing the observables of QGP we perform an analysis of m⊥ spectra of strange hadrons measured as function of centrality in 156 A GeV Pb-Pb interactions. We show that there is a good…

Sudden hadronization in relativistic nuclear collisions

A mechanical instability criterion for sudden hadronization of dense matter fireballs formed in 158A GeV Pb-Pb collisions is formulated and it is demonstrated that the required deep quark-gluon-plasma supercooling prior to suddenHadronization has occurred.

Within the model, recent data for S+Au at 200[ital A] GeV can only be understood if a scenario with a phase transition (possibly to a quark-gluon plasma) is assumed.
