Description

An analytical computation has been performed of the partition temperature of an n-particle system of total invariant mass M with a transverse-momentum cutoff. The result has been used to compare with the previously obtained fitted values at √s =540 GeV and it is shown that some further dynamical assumption is needed in order to reproduce aspects of the data beyond dn/dη. The effect of the center-of-mass motion of the system on the pseudorapidity distributions is also discussed
