Description

The transverse momentum distribution of pions in ultrarelativistic nuclear collision is calculated by the Bjorken scaling hydrodynamic model. Satisfactory agreement could be obtained with the experimental data which shows a concave shape in the low pT region if three temperatures are used: 200 MeV for the fluid expansion time τ 2 fm/c, 140 MeV for 2 fm/c > τ < 3 fm/c and 80 MeV for τ > 3 fm/c. If is suggested that the observed pion temperature should be a variable in a small temperature interval during the fluid expansion
