Description

We propose to study the impact parameter dependence of the bar Λ/bar p ratio in Pb(160A GeV)+Pb reactions. The bar Λ/bar p ratio is a sensible tool to distinguish between hadronic cascade models and hydrodynamical models, which assume chemical equilibrium and incorporate a possible phase transition to a quark-gluon plasma. copyright 1999 The American Physical Society
