Scaling properties of spectra in new exact solutions of rotating, multi-component fireball hydrodynamics
Abstract
We describe fireballs that rehadronize from a perfect fluid of quark matter, characterized by the lattice QCD equation of state, to a chemically frozen, multi-component mixture, that contains various kinds of observable hadrons. For simplicity and clarity, we apply a non-relativistic approximation to describe the kinematics of this expansion. Unexpectedly, we identify a secondary explosion that may characterize fireball hydrodynamics at the QCD critical point. After rehadronization, the multi-component mixture of hadrons keeps on rotating and expanding together, similarly to a single component fluid. After kinetic freeze-out, the effective temperature Ti of the single-particle spectra of hadron type hi is found to be a sum of the kinetic freeze-out temperature Tf (that is independent of the hadron type hi) and a term proportional to the mass mi of hadron type hi. The coefficient of proportionality to mi is also found to be independent of the hadron type hi but be dependent on the radial flow and vorticity of collective dynamics.
