چکیده
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 original geometric distribution of sources in the transverse plane can be superimposed with a statistical distribution simulating the dispersion in the generated transverse energy in each individual collision. The program generates inter alia the fixed-axes (standard) and variable-axes (participant) two-dimensional profiles of the density of sources in the transverse plane and their azimuthal Fourier components. These profiles can be used in further analysis of physical phenomena, such as the jet quenching, event-by-event hydrodynamics, or analysis of the elliptic flow and its fluctuations. Characteristics of the event (multiplicities, eccentricities, Fourier coefficients, etc.) are stored in a ROOT file and can be analyzed off-line. In particular, event-by-event studies can be carried out in a simple way. A number of ROOT scripts is provided for that purpose. Supplied variants of the code can also be used for the proton-nucleus and deuteron-nucleus collisions.

متن کامل2 4 M ay 2 00 5 Ising model simulation in directed lattices and networks
On directed lattices, with half as many neighbours as in the usual undirected lattices, the Ising model does not seem to show a spontaneous mag-netisation, at least for lower dimensions. Instead, the decay time for flipping of the magnetisation follows an Arrhenius law on the square and simple cubic lattice. On directed Barabási-Albert networks with two and seven neighbours selected by each add...

In our paper Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 151801 (2004), the oscillations of strongly deformed Bogomolny-Prasad-Sommerfield magnetic monopoles have been studied on a fixed Minkowski background. The purpose of the present article is to provide a more detailed account on the results yielded by our numerical simulations. In particular, an analysis on the dependence on the strength of the initial excitatio...

We present a calculation of the mass of the η ′ meson using quenched and dynamical staggered fermions. We also discuss the effects of " cooling " , and suggest its use a quantitative tool. One of the more curious inhabitants of the low energy spectrum of QCD is the η ′ meson. Deriving part of its mass from its kinship with the Goldstone boson pseudoscalars, the η ′ owes most of its anomalous we...
