Multiphase transport model for relativistic heavy ion collisions

ZW Lin, CM Ko, BA Li, B Zhang, S Pal - Physical Review C—Nuclear Physics, 2005 - APS
We describe in detail how the different components of a multiphase transport (ampt) model
that uses the heavy ion jet interaction generator (hijing) for generating the initial conditions …

New forms of QCD matter discovered at RHIC

M Gyulassy, L McLerran - Nuclear Physics A, 2005 - Elsevier
We discuss two special limiting forms of QCD matter which may be produced at RHIC. We
conclude from the available empirical evidence that an equilibrated, but strongly coupled …

Parton ladder splitting and the rapidity dependence of transverse momentum spectra in deuteron-gold collisions at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider

K Werner, FM Liu, T Pierog - Physical Review C—Nuclear Physics, 2006 - APS
We present a phenomenological approach (EPOS), based on the parton model, but going
much beyond by incorporating elastic and inelastic parton ladder splitting. Based on this …

How much do heavy quarks thermalize in a heavy ion collision?

GD Moore, D Teaney - Physical Review C—Nuclear Physics, 2005 - APS
We investigate the thermalization of charm quarks in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. To
this end, we calculate the diffusion coefficient in the perturbative quark gluon plasma and …

Hadron production in heavy ion collisions: Fragmentation and recombination from a dense parton phase

RJ Fries, B Müller, C Nonaka, SA Bass - Physical Review C—Nuclear Physics, 2003 - APS
