Abstract
We discuss fits of the Landau-Milekhin model to the transverse momentum spectra measured in 200 GeV/c nucleus-nucleus collisions. It is observed that the data are fit by a range of anticorrelated values of the breakup temperature and the average transverse hydrodynamic velocity. These fits indicate that a better understanding of transverse flow in ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions is required to uniquely determine the breakup temperature of the system.Keywords
