Microscopic Models for Ultrarelativistic Heavy Ion Collisions

TL;DR: In this paper, the Ultrarelativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (UrQMD) transport model is described in great detail, based on the same principles as QMD and RQMD, it incorporates a vastly extended collision term with full baryon-antibaryon symmetry.
Journal ArticleDOI

“Quantum” molecular dynamics—a dynamical microscopic n-body approach to investigate fragment formation and the nuclear equation of state in heavy ion collisions

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed derivation of the quantum molecular dynamics equation, discussed the various approximations necessary to derive this equation and to make actual calculations feasible, is presented, and the calculations presented aim at the solution of two of the most interesting questions of contemporary heavy ion physics: What causes a nucleus to fragment into many heavy pieces, and can we determine the nuclear equation of state from heavy ion reactions?
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantum molecular dynamics — A novel approach to N-body correlations in heavy ion collisions

TL;DR: In this article, the nucleons are represented as Gaussian wave packets in configuration and momentum space, and they interact via a combination of a Skyrme type potential and a Uehling-Uhlenbeck two-body scattering mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantum molecular dynamics approach to heavy ion collisions: Description of the model, comparison with fragmentation data, and the mechanism of fragment formation

TL;DR: A detailed microscopic quantum molecular dynamic analysis of fragment formation in the reaction Ne(1.05 GeV/nucleon) + Au, finding that the projectile causes a high density wave to travel through the target and transfers transverse momentum to the intermediate mass fragments.

Future physics opportunities for high-density QCD at the LHC with heavy-ion and proton beams

Zvi Hirsh Citron, +184 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the future opportunities for high-density QCD studies with ion and proton beams at the LHC are presented, and four major scientific goals are identified: the characterisation of the macroscopic long wavelength Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) properties with unprecedented precision, the investigation of the microscopic parton dynamics underlying QGP properties, the development of a unified picture of particle production and QCD dynamics from small (pp) to large (nucleus--nucus) systems, the exploration of parton densities in nuclei in
