Summary: | PoS(EPS-HEP2015)190 A simple basic model for describing proton-nucleus (pA) and nucleus-nucleus
(AA) collisions has been the intra-nuclear cascade model, where the
interactions are simulated by a sequence of binary nucleon-nucleon (NN)
collisions. This model helped to establish many scientific concepts and also
creates the foundation for more modern simulation codes, especially at low and
intermediate energies. In this paper, we present a new Monte Carlo model for pA
and AA collisions at high CERN Large Hadron collider energies. The model
implements HIJING code with a collective cascade recipe, that induces striking
light-like effect in a large nucleus. A single collision (lightening) event is
shown to be a complex process:A primary interacting nucleon passes its energy
to the surrounding nucleons in a large nucleus. This new simulation code is
shown to be good to reproduce the Large Hadron collider (LHC) data, especially
the charged particle pseudorapidity density in p+Pb and Pb+Pb collisions at LHC
energies. |
