Description

Using the dynamical transport approach RQMD, the radial collective expansion in relativistic heavy-ion collisions is studied at RHIC energy. The prediction of the radial flow is presented by analyzing the transverse mass spectra for Au + Au central collisions at the center of mass energy √s = 200 AGeV. The authors conclude that the average radial flow velocity is 0.6 c and the freeze-out temperature is 160 MeV in Au + Au reactions
