Analytic and numeric approximations are studied in detail for a hydrodynamic parameterization of single-particle spectra and two-particle correlation functions in high energy hadron-proton and heavy ion reactions. Two very different sets of model parameters are shown to result in similarly shaped correlation functions and single particle spectra in a rather large region of the momentum space. However, the absolute normalization of the single-particle spectra is found to be highly sensitive to the choice of the model parameters. For data fitting the analytic formulas are re-phrased in terms of parameters of direct physical meaning, like mean transverse flow. The difference between the analytic and numeric approximations are determined as an analytic function of source parameters.

We demonstrate on examples that a simultaneous study of the Bose-Einstein correlation function and the invariant momentum distribution can be very useful in distinguishing various hydrodynamic models, which describe separately the short-range correlations in high energy hadronic reactions as measured by the NA22 collaboration. We also analyze Bose-Einstein correlation functions, measured by the NA44 experiment at CERN SPS, in the context of the core-halo model.

The correlation between the harmonic flow and the transverse flow in relativistic heavy ion collisions is calculated in the hydrodynamic model. The partial correlation coefficient, corrected for fluctuations of multiplicity, is compared to experimental data. Estimators of the final transverse and harmonic flow are used to predict the value of the correlation coefficient from the moments of the initial distribution. A good description of the hydrodynamic simulation results is ...

We develop the new method of optimized discretization for imaging the relative source from two particle correlation functions. In this method, the source resolution depends on the relative particle separation and is adjusted to available data and their errors. We test the method by restoring assumed pp sources and then apply the method to pp and IMF data. In reactions below 100 MeV/nucleon, significant portions of the sources extend to large distances (r > 20 fm). The results...

Several popular parameterizations of the freeze-out conditions in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions are shortly reviewed. The common features of the models, responsible for the successful description of hadronic observables, are outlined.

In the first part of the talk we discuss the role of the two-body nucleon-nucleon correlations on signatures of the heavy-ion collisions which are a priori expected to be sensitive to these effects. We find that while the fluctuations of the number of produced particles are indeed affected, other quantities (v_2 fluctuations, size fluctuations) are insensitive to the presence of the NN correlations in the nucleon distributions. In the second part we show that the fluctuations...

We study fluctuations and correlations of the average transverse momentum of particles emitted in heavy-ion collisions. Fluctuations of the average transverse momentum are related to event-by-event fluctuations of the size and entropy of the initial source. Hydrodynamic calculations using a Glauber model with quark degrees of freedom reproduce the data. We study correlations of the average transverse momentum in different rapidity bins. We propose a definition of the observab...

Modelling correlations in heavy ion collisions is reviewed from model independent characterization of the two-particle correlations to Buda-Lund hydro model fits to correlations and spectra in Au + Au collisions at sqrt{s}=130 AGeV at RHIC.

A hybrid parameterization including contributions of hydrodynamics and of expectations from the spectral shape observed in p+p collisions is introduced. This parameterization can successfully describe identified hadron spectra over a wide range of $p_{T}$ in Au+Au reactions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV for all centralities. The parameters of the hydrodynamic source compare reasonably well to other attempts to describe the spectra. The description is obtained using one univers...

We compare the predictions of different models for transverse momentum spectra in relativistic heavy ion collisions. Particular emphasis is given to hydrodynamic flow with different assumptions for the radial expansion, and to models based on a superposition of fireballs along the transverse direction (random walk). It is shown that present experimental data cannot distinguish between the models under consideration.

A parametrized mathematical model is required to extract the information carried by transverse momentum $p_t$ spectra from high-energy nuclear collisions and subject it to physical interpretation in terms of possible hadron production mechanisms. The importance of proper model construction and implementation has increased with the emergence of claims for ``collectivity'' (flows) associated with small collision systems (e.g. $p$-$p$ and $p$-Pb). A two-element spectrum model, d...
