ZPC 1.0.1: a parton cascade for ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions
read the original abstract
A Monte Carlo program solving Boltzmann equation for partons via cascade method is presented. At presented, only gluon-gluon elastic scattering is included. The scattering cross section is regulated by a medium generated screening mass. Three different geometric modes (3 dimension expansion, 1-d expansion, and scattering inside a box) are provided for theoretical study of the parton transport and the applicability of the cascade method. Space cell division is available to save the number of computer operations. This improves the speed of the calculation by a large factor and makes the code best optimized for simulation of parton cascade in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions.

Impact of nuclear deformation on particle production in $Ne+Ne$ collisions at \texorpdfstring{\five}{sqrt(sNN)=5.36 TeV} from AMPT-SM
AMPT-SM simulations find that initial nuclear deformation in Ne+Ne collisions at LHC energies produces only small 2-6% changes in charged-particle densities, yields, pT spectra, and particle ratios.
