Generalized Effective String Rope Model for the initial stages of Ultra-Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions

Abstract

We present a Generalized Effective String Rope Model (GESRM) for the description of the initial state of relativistic heavy ion collisions. We start from the Effective String Rope Model (ESRM) and take into account fluctuations in the initial state following the Glauber Monte Carlo approach. Results from symmetric Au+Au collisions at different impact parameters and asymmetric A+Au head on collisions are presented at RHIC energies. The produced initial state is used as an initial condition for further hydrodynamical calculations.
