Abstract

A relativistic 3-fluid 3D hydrodynamic model has been developed for describing heavy-ion collisions at incident energies between few and ∼ 200 A⋅GeV. In addition to two baryon-rich fluids which simulate mutually decelerating counterflows of target and projectile nucleons, the new model incorporates evolution of a third, retarded baryon-free fluid created by this decelerated baryonic matter. Different equations of state, including those with the deconfinement phase transition, are treated. A reasonable agreement with experiment is illustrated by proton rapidity spectra, their dependence on collision centrality and beam energy.
