Abstract: (APS)
This work presents a three-dimensional dynamical initialization model for relativistic heavy-ion collisions, implementing local energy-momentum conservation and baryon charge fluctuations at string junctions. Constraining parameters using experimental data from collisions at various collision energies, the model provides a very good description of the charged hadron and net proton rapidity distributions in collisions from 7.7 to 200 GeV and collisions at 8.77 and 17.3 GeV. We demonstrate the importance of fluctuations of baryon densities to string junctions for describing net-proton distributions at collision energies of 62.4 and 200 GeV. Including this improved baryon stopping description along with the requirement of strangeness neutrality also yields a good description of identified particle yields as functions of the collision energy above 7.7 GeV. We further study asymmetric and collisions at the top Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) energy and , and collisions at Large Hadron Collider (LHC) energies. We identify the produced particle rapidity distributions in asymmetric collision systems as particularly useful for constraining models of the early-time longitudinal dynamics.Note:
