3D Initial-State Dynamics across scales: A Comparative Study of saturation and string-based descriptions

Hannah Elfner, Lucas Constantin, Niklas G\"otz, Oscar Garcia-Montero

String-based and saturation-based initial condition models agree on longitudinal deposition at low energies but differ substantially at higher energies.

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

while they are in good agreement at lower energies, their energy and baryon deposition differs substantially at higher center of mass energies.

C2weakest assumption

The models are capable of providing longitudinally resolved initial conditions which is essential for 3D hydrodynamical simulations, and that direct comparison of deposition profiles across the full energy range can interface their regions of applicability (abstract).

C3one line summary

Comparison of SMASH and McDipper initial condition models shows agreement in longitudinal deposition at lower energies but substantial differences in energy and baryon deposition at higher center-of-mass energies.
