Effectiveness of parton cascade in solving the relativistic Boltzmann equation in a box
Todd Mendenhall, Zi-Wei Lin
We benchmark the ZPC parton cascade with an exact analytical solution of the relativistic Boltzmann equation for a homogeneous and massless gas with a constant and isotropic elasti…
Calculating QCD Phase Diagram Trajectories of Nuclear Collisions using a Semi-analytical Model
Todd Mendenhall, Zi-Wei Lin
At low to moderate collision energies where the parton formation time is not small compared to the nuclear crossing time, the finite nuclear thickness significantly affects t…
A Semi-analytical Method of Calculating Nuclear Collision Trajectory in the QCD Phase Diagram
Zi-Wei Lin, Todd Mendenhall
The finite nuclear thickness affects the energy density and conserved-charge densities such as the net-baryon density produced in heavy ion collisions. While the ef…
Semi-analytical calculation of the trajectory of relativistic nuclear collisions in the QCD phase diagram
Todd Mendenhall, Zi-Wei Lin
We extend a semi-analytical model that includes the finite nuclear thickness to calculate the energy density and conserved-charge densities including the net-baryon density…
Calculating the initial energy density in heavy ion collisions by including the finite nuclear thickness
Todd Mendenhall, Zi-Wei Lin
The initial energy density produced in heavy ion collisions can be estimated with the Bjorken energy density formula after choosing a proper formation time . However,…
