Direct photon emission in heavy-ion collisions is calculated within the relativistic microscopic transport model UrQMD. We compare the results from the pure transport calculation to a hybrid-model calculation, where the high-density part of the evolution is replaced by an ideal 3-dimensional fluiddynamic calculation. The effects of viscosity, present in the transport model but neglected in ideal fluid-dynamics, are examined. We study the contribution of different production channels and non-thermal collisions to the spectrum of direct photons. Detailed comparison to the measurements by the WA~98-collaboration are undertaken.
We investigate hadronic particle spectra and flow characteristics of heavy-ion reactions in the FAIR/NICA energy range of $1\ A{\rm GeV} \le E_{\rm lab} \le 10\ A{\rm GeV}$ within a relativistic ideal hydrodynamic one-fluid approach. The particlization is realized by sampling the Cooper-Frye distribution for a grand canonical hadron gas on a hypersurface of constant energy density. Results of the hydrodynamic calculations for different underlying equations of state are presented and compared with experimental data and microscopic transport simulations. The sensitivity of the approach to physic…
Correlations related to local charge conservation provide insight into the creation and evolution of up, down and strange charges in the quark-gluon plasma. Here, the evolution of charge correlations is overlaid onto a hydrodynamic calculation for the regions where temperature exceed 155 MeV, then transferred and carried through a microscopic model of the hadronic stage. Thus, for the first time, charge correlations are evolved consistently with a full state-of-the-art description of a heavy-ion collision. The charge correlations are projected onto charge balance functions, which characterize …
Numerical Analyses of CERN 200GeV/A Heavy-Ion Collisions Based on a Hydrodynamical Model with Phase Transition
基于一个考虑相变的流体动力学模型，对近年来的高能重离子碰撞实验进行了数值分析，讨论了QGP流体初始状态随碰撞核质量的系统变化.在前一篇文章中，我们建立了一个具有相变的夸克-胶子等离子体的（3+1）维流体动力学模型，并对时空演化进行了详细的数值讨论。本文将数值解与CERN WA 80和NA 35给出的强子分布进行了比较。通过对各种碰撞核实验的系统分析，讨论了流体动力学模型的初始参数对碰撞核质量的依赖关系。此外，我们还外推了150 GeV/A铅-铅碰撞的强子分布。
The deuteron binding energy is only 2.2 MeV. At the same time, its yield in Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = $2.76 TeV corresponds to a thermal yield at the temperature around 155 MeV, which is too hot to keep deuterons bound. This puzzle is not completely resolved yet. In general, the mechanism of light nuclei production in ultra-high energy heavy ion collisions remains under debate. In a previous work [1] we suggest a microscopic explanation of the deuteron production in central ultra-relativistic Pb+Pb collisions, the main mechanism being $πpn \leftrightarrow πd$ reactions in the hadron…
We develop a flexible, relativistically covariant parameterization of dense nuclear matter equation of state suited for inclusion in computationally demanding hadronic transport simulations. Within an implementation in the hadronic transport code SMASH, we show that effects due to bulk thermodynamic behavior are reproduced in dynamic hadronic systems, demonstrating that hadronic transport can be used to study critical behavior in dense nuclear matter, both at and away from equilibrium. We also show that two-particle correlations calculated from hadronic transport simulation data follow theoret…
We calculate the transport coefficients like shear viscosity and electrical conductivity with respect to density of dense hadronic and quark matter. By considering the simple massless limit for the quark matter and two different effective models for the hadronic matter, we have estimated the transport coefficients of the two phases separately. We have sketched the density profile of the transport coefficients in two parts viz. the phase-space part and the relaxation time part. By calculating the shear viscosity to density ratio, we have also explored the nearly perfect fluid domain of the quar…
Transport equations of a consistent description of the kinetics and hydrodynamics of dense quantum systems. I: General approach within the frame of nonequilibrium thermo field dynamics
We have theoretically investigated the finite system size effect of hadronic matter on its transport coefficients like shear viscosity, bulk viscosity, and electrical conductivity. We have used a Hadron Resonance Gas (HRG) model to calculate the thermodynamical quantities like entropy density, speed of sound and also the above transport coefficients. All these quantities are found to be sensitive to finite system size effects of hadronic matter. The effect of finite system size is found to be more when the system is at low temperatures and gets reduced at high temperatures. Owing to the intima…
We investigate whether hydrodynamic attractors are present in simulations of the quark-gluon plasma formed in heavy-ion collisions. We argue that Lagrangian schemes to solve the relativistic viscous fluid equations can be particularly useful to characterize the properties of attractors in heavy ion collisions. Preliminary results are shown in Israel-Stewart theory to support such a claim. We also discuss how to perform the slow-roll expansion in Israel-Stewart theory undergoing a general flow, which naturally leads to the definition of a resummed shear viscosity coefficient that depends on the…
Electric charge transport of hadronic matter at finite temperature and magnetic field is studied within the linear sigma model. Anisotropic transport coefficients associated with the charge transport are estimated both in the weak and strong regimes of the magnetic field using the transport theory approach. In a weakly magnetized medium, the magnetic field effects are incorporated through the Lorentz force term in the Boltzmann equation. Strong magnetic field puts further constraints on the motion of charged particles through Landau quantization. Magnetic field-dependent thermal relaxation tim…
Predictions and comparisons of hadronic flow observables for Pb+Pb collisions at 2.76 A TeV and 5.02 A TeV are presented using a hydrodynamics + hadronic cascade hybrid approach. Initial conditions are generated via a new formulation of the IP-Glasma model and then evolved using relativistic viscous hydrodynamics and finally fed into transport cascade in the hadronic phase. The results of this work show excellent agreement with the recent charged hadron anisotropic flow measurements from the ALICE collaboration of Pb+Pb collisions at 5.02 A TeV. Event-by-event distributions of charged hadron v…
A hybrid (hydrodynamics + hadronic transport) theoretical framework is assembled to model the bulk dynamics of relativistic heavy-ion collisions at energies accessible in the Beam Energy Scan (BES) program at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) and the NA61/SHINE experiment at CERN. The system's energy-momentum tensor and net baryon current are evolved according to relativistic hydrodynamics with finite shear viscosity and non-zero net baryon diffusion. Our hydrodynamic description is matched to a hadronic transport model in the dilute region. With this fully integrated theoretical fram…
Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions within 3-Fluid Hydrodynamics: Hadronic Scenario
介绍了一个用于模拟相对论重离子碰撞的三流体动力学模型。除了两个重子丰富的流体，新模型考虑了第三个新产生的粒子的重子自由（即零重子净电荷）流体的延迟演化。它的演化是延迟的，由于形成时间，在此期间，重子自由流体既不热化，也不与重子丰富的流体相互作用。形成后，它开始与富含重子的流体相互作用，并迅速热化。在此模型下，采用纯强子状态方程，系统地分析了入射能量在几到160 AGeV之间的各种观测量，并与输运模型的结果进行了比较。在入射能量为E_{lab} =（1-160）AGeV的范围内，我们成功地合理地再现了大量的实验数据。该列表包括质子和π介子快度分布，质子横向质谱，λ和反λ超子的快度分布，质子和π介子的椭圆流（40 A GeV的质子v2除外），π介子的多重性，正K介子，φ介子，超子和反超子，包括多奇异粒子。与强子自由截面的估计结果相比，这种一致是以显著增强流间摩擦为代价的。但是，我们也发现了一些问题。K^-的计算产率比实验值高出约1.5倍。在E_{lab} > 40 A GeV时，我们也未能描述质子和π介子的定向横向流动。这种失效显然表明所用的EoS太硬，从而为相变留下了空间。
In this work the non-equilibrium dilepton production from a hadronic transport approach (SMASH) is presented. The dilepton emission from the hadronic stage is of interest for current HADES results measured at GSI in the beam energy range from 1.25 - 3.5 GeV. Also at high collision energies (RHIC/LHC) the later dilute stages of the reaction are dominated by hadronic dynamics. The newly developed hadronic transport approach called SMASH (=Simulating Many Accelerated Strongly-interacting Hadrons) is introduced first. After explaining the basic interaction mechanisms, a comparison of elementary cr…
We present a novel approach to the treatment of thermal fluctuations in the (3+1)-D viscous hydrodynamic simulation MUSIC. The phenomenological impact of thermal fluctuations on hadronic observables is investigated using the IP-Glasma + hydrodynamics + hadronic cascade hybrid approach. The anisotropic flow observed in heavy-ion collision experiments is mostly attributed to the hydrodynamic response to the event-by-event collision geometry and to the sub-nucleon quantum fluctuations. However, hydrodynamic fluctuations are present during the dynamical evolution of the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) an…
We investigate general frameworks for calculating transport coefficients for quasiparticle theories at finite temperature. Hadronic transport coefficients are then computed using the linear sigma model (LSM). The bulk viscosity over entropy density ($ζ/s$) is evaluated in the relaxation time approximation (RTA) and the specific shear viscosity ($η/s$) and static electrical conductivity ($σ_{el}/T$) are both obtained in the RTA and using a functional variational approach. Results are shown for different values of the scalar-isoscalar hadron vacuum mass with in-medium masses for the interacting …
Decorrelation of the elliptic flow in rapidity is calculated within a hybrid approach which includes event-by-event viscous fluid dynamics and final state hadronic cascade model. The simulations are performed for Au+Au collisions at center-of-mass collision energies of 27 and 200 GeV per nucleon pair, as well as various colliding systems at 72 GeV per nucleon pair. Initial conditions determined by an extended Monte Carlo Glauber model show better agreement with experimental data than initial conditions from the UrQMD transport model. We show how the observed decorrelation is connected with the…
