Abstract
After reviewing the observables of QGP we perform an analysis of m(perpendi cular to) spectra of strange hadrons measured as function of centrality in 156 A GeV Pb-Pb interactions. We show that there is a good agreement betwee n the chemical and thermal freeze-out conditions, providing additional evid ence for the formation and sudden disintegration of a supercooled QGP fireb all.
