Particle production and equilibrium properties within a new hadron transport approach for heavy-ion collisions
Particle production and equilibrium properties within a new hadron transport approach for heavy-ion collisions
The microscopic description of heavy-ion reactions at low beam energies is achieved within hadronic transport approaches. In this article a new approach called ``Simulating Many Accelerated Strongly interacting Hadrons'' (SMASH) is introduced and applied to study the production of nonstrange particles in heavy-ion reactions at ${E}_{\mathrm{kin}}=0.4A--2A$ GeV. First, the model …
