TLDR

Abstract
Combining perturbative-QCD inspired models for multiple jet production with low ${p}_{T}$ multistring phenomenology, we develop a Monte Carlo event generator hijing to study jet and multiparticle production in high energy $\mathrm{pp}$, $\mathrm{pA}$, and $\mathrm{AA}$ collisions. The model includes multiple minijet production, nuclear shadowing of parton distribution functions, and a schematic mechanism of jet interactions in dense matter. Glauber geometry for multiple collisions is used to calculate $\mathrm{pA}$ and $\mathrm{AA}$ collisions. The phenomenological parameters are adjusted to reproduce essential features of $\mathrm{pp}$ multiparticle production data for a wide energy range ($\sqrt{s}=5\ensuremath{-}2000$ GeV). Illustrative tests of the model on $p+A$ and light-ion $B+A$ data at $\sqrt{s}=20$ GeV/nucleon and predictions for Au+Au at energies of the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider ($\sqrt{s}=200$ GeV/nucleon) are given.

Centrality dependence of multiplicities in ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions

TL;DR: In this paper, the centrality dependence of multiplicities of particles produced in ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions at various energies and atomic numbers is computed in perturbative QCD with saturated densities of produced gluons and by including effects of nuclear geometry.

Integrated Dynamical Approach to Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions

TL;DR: In this paper, an integrated dynamical model composed of a fully (3+1) dimensional ideal hydrodynamic model with the state-of-the-art equation of state based on lattice QCD, and subsequent hadronic cascade in the late stage is presented.

Mean-field effects on collective flow in high-energy heavy-ion collisions at 2 158A GeV energies

TL;DR: In this article, a nonequilibrium transport model with the nuclear mean field (MF) was proposed to investigate collective flows in heavy-ion collisions from AGS [2\char21{}11] to SPS [$(40,158)A$ GeV] energies, and the results showed that momentum dependence on the nuclear MF is important for the understanding of the proton collective flows at AGS and SPS energies.
