AGS DATA AND NIX-CHAPMAN FIT

Shown here are data from E802. These are pi+ data, and below are the equivalent plots for other particles. All data sets, as well as HBT data, were fed into the Nix-Chapman model. The program then optimized a global fit in terms of fundamental parameters (Temperature, flow, chemical potentials etc), and from these parameters in turn the pt spectra were calculated. The match is excellent.
