The effects of the spectral shift of the hadronic properties are incorporated in the equation of state (EOS) of the evolving matter. In-medium shift of hadronic properties are considered for Quantum Hadrodynamics (QHD) and universal scaling scenarios. It is found that the EOS for the hadronic matter for universal scaling of hadronic masses (except pseudoscalar mesons) is similar to the recent lattice results. We observe that the space-time volume of the hadronic matter at the freeze-out is considerably different from the one when medium effects on the hadrons are ignored. The sensitivity of the results on the initial radial velocity profile is investigated. The transverse mass spectra of pions and protons of NA49 collaboration are analyzed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2002-01-18T12:58:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "24.10.Nz" ], "keywords": [ "ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions", "space-time evolution", "hadronic spectra", "hadronic properties", "hadronic matter" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Elsevier", "journal": "Nucl.
