Abstract
An event generator for exclusive simulation of nucleus-nucleus collisions based on quantum molecular dynamics is developed. A comparison of the results obtained using this event generator with earlier measurements show that the yields of pions, kaons, antiprotons, deuterons, and nuclear fragments in the collisions of various nuclei pair such as Si-Al and Pb-Pb in the energy range of a few to $100A$ GeV are predicted successfully. The Lorentz-covariant description of nucleon-nucleon interactions plays a critical role in reproducing fragment yields in peripheral collisions. Secondary meson yields from nucleus-nucleus collisions are well reproduced by incorporating the production and decay of resonances of up to 2 GeV/${c}^{2}$ and strings. This model can therefore be used for analysis and planning of high-energy particle physics experiments, prediction of cosmic ray transport, and shielding design of high-energy heavy-ion accelerators.
