Impact of string interactions on the space-time evolution of hadronic vertices

Smita Chakraborty, Leif Lönnblad

We investigate the space-time picture of string evolution and hadron production in a fully string-based model for high energy collisions involving heavy ions. We find that although…

Strangeness enhancement across collision systems without a plasma

Christian Bierlich, Smita Chakraborty, Gösta Gustafson +1

We present novel rope hadronization results for strange hadron enhancement in pp, pPb, and PbPb collisions using PYTHIA/Angantyr at LHC energies. With the rope model for string fra…

A comprehensive guide to the physics and usage of PYTHIA 8.3

Christian Bierlich, Smita Chakraborty, Nishita Desai +11

This manual describes the PYTHIA 8.3 event generator, the most recent version of an evolving physics tool used to answer fundamental questions in particle physics. The program is m…

Event Generators for High-Energy Physics Experiments

J. M. Campbell, M. Diefenthaler, T. J. Hobbs +209

We provide an overview of the status of Monte-Carlo event generators for high-energy particle physics. Guided by the experimental needs and requirements, we highlight areas of acti…

Jet modifications from colour rope formation in dense systems of non-parallel strings

Christian Bierlich, Smita Chakraborty, Gösta Gustafson +1

We revisit our rope model for string fragmentation that has been shown to give a reasonable description of strangeness and baryon enhancement in high-multiplicity pp events at the…

Hyperfine splitting effects in string hadronization

Christian Bierlich, Smita Chakraborty, Gösta Gustafson +1

We revisit the recipe for hadron formation in the Lund string hadronization model. Given an incoming quark or quark-diquark pair, weights for hadron formation are updated to take h…

Cracking hadron and nuclear collisions open with ropes and string shoving in PYTHIA8

Smita Chakraborty

Enhancement in strangeness yields in heavy-ion collisions is regarded as one of the attributes of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) along with jet quenching and final-state collectivity…

Setting the string shoving picture in a new frame

Christian Bierlich, Smita Chakraborty, Gösta Gustafson +1

Based on the recent success of the \angantyr model in describing multiplicity distributions of the hadronic final state in high energy heavy ion collisions, we investigate how far…

String shoving effects on jets in p-p collisions

Smita Chakraborty

Di-jet observables are excellent probes to study the effect of jets in dense systems. Interacting Lund strings will affect jet observables and suggests a new common mechanism respo…

QCD Challenges from pp to A-A Collisions

J. Adolfsson, A. Andronic, C. Bierlich +37

This paper is a write-up of the ideas that were presented, developed and discussed at the third International Workshop on QCD Challenges from pp to A-A, which took place in August…
