Abstract

A universal condition for pion freeze-out from pion interferometry data and single particle yields was derived. Thermal pion freeze-out occurred at a critical mean free path, independent of beam energy. A transition from nucleon to pion dominated freeze-out between AGS and SPS energies was observed.
