Quark gluon plasma studies within a partonic transport approach

Abstract

Aiming for the simultaneous description of the hard and the soft regime of ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions, we present our recent findings within the partonic transport model BAMPS (Boltzmann Approach to Multi-Parton Scatterings). While using both elastic and radiative interactions provided by perturbative QCD, BAMPS allows the full 3+1D simulation of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) at the microscopic level by solving the relativistic Boltzmann equation for quarks and gluons. BAMPS facilitates investigations of jet quenching, heavy flavor and elliptic flow within the partonic phase of heavy-ion collisions as well as studies of QGP medium properties in terms of e.g. transport coecients like /s and the electric conductivity.
