Studying the QCD Matter produced in Heavy-Ion Collisions using the MUSES Calculation Engine
Johannes Jahan, Kevin P. Pala, Yumu Yang +42
The equation of state of hot and dense matter is essential for describing heavy-ion collisions at all collision energies. Here, we explore the capabilities of the latest version of…
NuclearConfectionery: Multi-stage Simulation Framework for Modeling Relativistic Heavy-ion Collisions
Kevin P. Pala, Surkhab Kaur Virk, Dekrayat Almaalol +9
We present the NuclearConfectionery, a modular framework for simulating the full dynamical evolution of relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Its core hydrodynamic module, CCAKE 2.0,…
Nuclear Physics Confronts Relativistic Collisions Of Isobars
Giuliano Giacalone, Jiangyong Jia, Vittorio Somà +43
High-energy collisions involving the isobars Zr and Ru have been performed in 2018 at Brookhaven National Laboratory's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) a…
Impact of the pre-equilibrium phase for the determination of nuclear geometry in high-energy isobar collisions
Fernando G. Gardim, André V. Giannini, Frédérique Grassi +2
Ultrarelativistic isobar collisions have been proposed as a useful tool to investigate nuclear structure. These systems are not created in equilibrium, rather undergo a pre-thermal…
