Results on identified hadrons from the PHENIX experiment at RHIC Original Research Article

Recent results on identified hadrons from the PHENIX experiment in Au+Au collisions at mid-rapidity at View the MathML source GeV are presented. The centrality dependence of transverse momentum distributions and particle ratios for identified charged hadrons are studied. The transverse flow velocity and freeze-out temperature are extracted from pT spectra within the framework of a hydrodynamic collective flow model. Two-particle HBT correlations for charged pions are measured in different centrality selections for a broad range of transverse momentum of the pair. Results on elliptic flow measurements with respect to the reaction plane for identified particles are also presented.
