  24. Summary (II) • All hadrons are at same thermal freeze-out? • p, K, p, and L • Seem to have common Tth and radial flow • Inverse slope parameters increase with mass • However… • Cascade (X) seems to freeze-out early • Multi strange particle is one of keys for information of early stage STAR preliminary PHENIX preliminary SPS Masashi Kaneta, First joint Meeting of the Nuclear Physics Divisions of APS and JPS

  25. Open issues • What stage is the origin of strong flow? • Partonic and/or hadronic level? • We don’t have a perfect microscopic model to describe data! • Thermal/statistical model assumes ideal gas • The source may not be ideal gas in real world • How to connect from hadron observable to parton level?
