Abstract

We present the first analysis of preliminary data for Pb+Pb at 160 AGeV using 3+1-dimensional relativistic hydrodynamics. We find excellent agreement with the rapidity spectra of negative hadrons and the correlation measurements. The data indicates a large amount of stopping; 65\% of the invariant energy of the collision is thermalized and 73\% of the baryons are contained in the central fireball. Within our model this implies that a quark-gluon-plasma of lifetime 3.4 fm/c was formed.
