Abstract:
We show that a hydrodynamical model with continuous particle emission instead of sudden freeze out may explain both the observed strange particle and pion abundances and transverse mass spectra for light projectile at SPS energy. We found that the observed enhancement of pion production corresponds, within the context of continuous emission, to the maximal entropy production.
