Fe b 19 99 Analysis of reaction dynamics at RHIC in a combined parton / hadron transport approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce a transport approach which combines partonic and hadronic degrees of freedom on an equal footing and discuss the resulting reaction dynamics. The initial parton dynamics is modeled in the framework of the parton cascade model, hadronization is performed via a cluster hadroniza-tion model and configuration space coalescence, and the hadronic phase is described by a microscopic hadronic transport approach. The resulting reaction dynamics indicates a strong influence of hadronic rescattering on the space-time pattern of hadronic freeze-out and on the shape of transverse mass spectra. Freeze-out times and transverse radii increase by factors of 2 – 3 depending on the hadron species.

Parton rearrangement and fast thermalization in heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and LHC energies
The implications of parton rearrangement processes on the dynamics of ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions have been investigated. A microscopic transport approach, namely the quark gluon string model (QGSM) which has been extended for a locally density-dependent partonic rearrangement and fusion procedure served as the tool for this investigations. The model emulates effectively the dynamic...

The first fermi in a high energy nuclear collision. At very high energies, weak coupling, non–perturbative methods can be used to study classical gluon production in nuclear collisions. One observes in numerical simulations that after an initial " formation " time, the produced partons are on shell, and their subsequent evolution can be studied using transport theory. At the initial formation t...
متن کاملManifestations of High Density QCD in the first RHIC data
We derive a simple analytical scaling function which embodies the predictions of high density QCD on the energy, centrality, rapidity, and atomic number dependences of hadron multiplicities in nuclear collisions. Both centrality and rapidity dependences of hadron multiplicity in Au − Au collisions as measured at RHIC at √s = 130 GeV are well described in this approach. The centrality and rapidi...

A new dynamical approach that combines covariant parton transport theory with hadronization channels via parton coalescence and fragmentation is applied to Au+Au at RHIC. Basic consequences of the simple coalescence formulas, such as elliptic flow scaling and enhanced p/π ratio, turn out to be rather sensitive to the spacetime aspects of coalescence dynamics.
