abstract

The dynamics of partons, hadrons and strings in relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions is analyzed within the novel Parton-Hadron-String Dynamics (PHSD) transport approach, which is applied to Pb+Pb collisions from 20 to 160 A GeV in order to explore the space-time regions of 'partonic matter'. We find that even central collisions at the top-SPS energy of 158 A GeV show a large fraction of non-partonic, i.e. hadronic or string-like matter, which can be viewed as a hadronic corona. Furthermore, we observe that the partonic phase has a very low impact on rapidity distributions of hadrons but a sizeable influence on the transverse mass distribution of final kaons due to the repulsive partonic mean fields. We also find a significant effect on the production of multi-strange antibaryons due to a slightly enhanced $s{\bar s}$ pair production in the partonic phase from massive time-like gluon decay and a larger formation of antibaryons in the hadronization process. All differential hadron spectra are analyzed in comparison to the data of experimental collaborations.
