The freeze-out volume is not perfectly "stirred", i.e. the concentrations of pions, kaons, (anti-) nucleons etc are inhomogeneous. Such inhomogeneities in the late stages of the hydrodynamic expansion might be traces of a first-order phase transition.Contribution to the GSI annual scientific report 2004Nuclear TheoryInhomogeneous freeze-out in heavy-ion collisionstext
