Abstract

Description

We give the emission function of the axially symmetric Buda-Lund hydro model and present its simultaneous, high quality fits to identified particle spectra, two-particle Bose-Einstein or HBT correlations and charged particle pseudorapidity distributions as measured by BRAHMS and PHENIX in 0-30 % central, $\sqrt{s_{\NN}} = 200$ GeV Au+Au collisions at RHIC. The best fit is achieved when the most central region of the particle emitting volume is superheated to $T_0 = 200 \pm 9$ MeV $ \ge T_c =172 \pm 3$ MeV, a preliminary, 3 $σ$ effect.
