Phys. Rev. C 59, 3304–3308 (1999)Hadronic phase space density and chiral symmetry restoration in relativistic heavy ion collisionsReceived 15 October 1998; published in the issue dated June 1999 The effect of altered hadron masses is studied for its effect with regard to final-state hadronic observables. It is shown that the final phase space densities of pions and kaons, which can be inferred experimentally, are sensitive to in-medium properties of the excited matter at earlier stages of the collision, but that the sensitivity is significantly moderated by interactions that change the effective numbers of pions and kaons during the latter part of the collision. © 1999 The American Physical Society URL:
