Pion Freeze-Out Time in Pb+Pb Collisions at 158 A GeV/c Studied via $\pi^-/\pi^+$ and $K^-/K^+$ Ratios

The effect of the final state Coulomb interaction on particles produced in Pb+Pb collisions at 158 A GeV/c has been investigated in the WA98 experiment through the study of the pi-/pi+ and K-/K+ ratios measured as a function of transverse mass. While the ratio for kaons shows no significant transver...
