RHIC and LHC phenomena with an unified parton transport

TL;DR

This paper applies the BAMPS parton cascade model to study heavy-ion collision phenomena at RHIC and LHC energies, analyzing jet quenching, flow, and collective effects like Mach cones.

Contribution

It demonstrates the application of a unified parton transport model to various heavy-ion observables, including jet reconstruction and viscous effects.

Findings

Nuclear modification factor and elliptic flow are successfully calculated for RHIC and LHC.

Preliminary jet reconstruction results within BAMPS are presented.

Mach cones are shown to develop in both ideal and viscous regimes.

Abstract

We discuss recent applications of the partonic pQCD based cascade model BAMPS with focus on heavy-ion phenomeneology in hard and soft momentum range. The nuclear modification factor as well as elliptic flow are calculated in BAMPS for RHIC end LHC energies. These observables are also discussed within the same framework for charm and bottom quarks. Contributing to the recent jet-quenching investigations we present first preliminary results on application of jet reconstruction algorithms in BAMPS. Finally, collective effects induced by jets are investigated: we demonstrate the development of Mach cones in ideal matter as well in the highly viscous regime.
