Phys. Rev. D 27, 140–151 (1983)Highly relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions: The central rapidity regionReceived 13 August 1982; published in the issue dated 1 January 1983 The space-time evolution of the hadronic matter produced in the central rapidity region in extreme relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions is described. We find, in agreement with previous studies, that quark-gluon plasma is produced at a temperature ≳200-300 MeV, and that it should survive over a time scale ≳5 fm/c. Our description relies on the existence of a flat central plateau and on the applicability of hydrodynamics. © 1983 The American Physical Society URL:
