Motivation<br />

Heavy ion collisions<br />

Question:<br />

Do we discover deconfined matter in these collisions; can we extract information<br />

about the properties of quarks and gluons?<br />

Possible answer:<br />

<strong>Hydrodynamics</strong><br />

◮ extract local temperatures, energy densities<br />

◮ describe collective effects<br />

◮ no / little detailed knowledge of microscopic physics needed, if relevant input<br />

provided externally<br />

◮ analyse experimental data in this framework<br />

Applicable <strong>to</strong> detect signatures of deconfined matter with a hydrodynamical model?<br />
