place immediately after a heavy ion collision has certain similarity with the cosmological expansion. We study the analogue geometry of the expanding hadronic fluid, using the the formalism of relativistic acoustic geometry [1, 2, 3]. We show that the propagation of massless pions provides a geometric analog of expanding spacetime equivalent to an open (k = −1) FRW cosmology. Here, we study general conditions for the formation of a trapped region with the inner boundary as a marginally trapped surface

survey conducted by the Society for Human Resource Management reported that only 26% of firms reported productivity improvements while 58% said that productivity was flat or had declined after downsizing (The Washington Post, 1996).
