Landau Hydrodynamics and RHIC Phenomena

  • Published:
Acta Physica Hungarica

Summary

The basic physical assumptions and results of Landau's hydrodynamic model of particle production are reviewed. It is argued that these results have sufficient descriptive and predictive power in strong-interaction phenomenology, including recent RHIC data, to warrant a closer examination of the physical assumptions.
