GLISSANDO 2: GLauber Initial-State Simulation AND mOre…, ver. 2

1 0 M ar 2 00 8 GLISSANDO : GLauber Initial - State Simulation AND mOre . . . ⋆

We present a Monte-Carlo generator for a variety of Glauber-like models (the wounded-nucleon model, binary collisions model, mixed model, model with hot spots). These models describe the early stages of relativistic heavy-ion collisions, in particular the spatial distribution of the transverse energy deposition which ultimately leads to production of particles from the interaction region. The o...

We analyze measures of the azimuthal asymmetry, in particular the participant harmonic moments, ε∗, in a variety of Glauber-like models for the early stage of collisions at RHIC. Quantitative comparisons indicate substantial model dependence for ε∗, reflecting different effective number of sources, while the dependence of the scaled standard deviation σ(ε∗)/ε∗ on the particular Glauber model is...
