A first-order phase transition from a thermalized quark-gluon plasma (QGP) to a gas of hadrons is assumed for the transport calculations. The fraction of kaons that are directly emitted from the phase boundary is considerably enhanced at large transverse momenta KT ∼ 1 GeV/c. In this kinematic region, the sensitivity of the Rout/Aside ratio to the QGP properties is enlarged. The results of the one-dimensional correlation analysis are presented. The extracted interferometry radii, depending on KT, are not unusually large and are strongly affected by finite momentum resolution effects.}, Doi = {10.1088/0954-3899/28/7/343}, Key = {fds245391} } @article{fds245301, Author = {Song, H and Bass, SA and Heinz, UW and Hirano, T and Shen, C}, Title = {200 A GeV Au+Au collisions serve a nearly perfect quark-gluon liquid.}, Journal = {Physical Review Letters}, Volume = {106}, Number = {19}, Pages = {192301}, Year = {2011}, Month = {Spring}, ISSN = {0031-9007}, url = {http://arxiv.org/abs/1011.2783}, Abstract = {A new robust method to extract the specific shear viscosity (η/s)(QGP) of a quark-gluon plasma (QGP) at temperatures T(c) < T ≲ 2T(c) from the centrality dependence of the eccentricity-scaled elliptic flow v2/ε measured in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions is presented.

Such simulations can however be very time-intensive, requiring millions of CPU hours to perform. One solution is multi-fidelity emulation, which uses data of different fidelities to train an efficient predictive model which emulates the expensive simulator. For complex scientific problems and with careful elicitation from scientists, such multi-fidelity data may often be linked by a directed acyclic graph (DAG) representing its scientific model dependencies. We thus propose a new Graphical Multi-fidelity Gaussian Process (GMGP) model, which embeds this DAG structure (capturing scientific dependencies) within a Gaussian process framework. We show that the GMGP has desirable modeling traits via two Markov properties, and admits a scalable algorithm for recursive computation of the posterior mean and variance along at each depth level of the DAG. We also present a novel experimental design methodology over the DAG given an experimental budget, and propose a nonlinear extension of the GMGP via deep Gaussian processes. The advantages of the GMGP are then demonstrated via a suite of numerical experiments and an application to emulation of heavy-ion collisions, which can be used to study the conditions of matter in the Universe shortly after the Big Bang. The proposed model has broader uses in data fusion applications with graphical structure, which we further discuss.}, Doi = {10.1080/00401706.2023.2281940}, Key = {fds375224} } @article{fds245352, Author = {Spieles, C and Gerland, L and Hammon, N and Bleicher, M and Bass, SA and Stöcker, H and Greiner, W and Lourenço, C and Vogt, R}, Title = {A microscopic calculation of secondary Drell-Yan production in heavy ion collisions}, Journal = {European Physical Journal C}, Volume = {5}, Number = {2}, Pages = {349-355}, Publisher = {Springer Nature}, Year = {1998}, Month = {January}, url = {http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/9706525}, Abstract = {A study of secondary Drell-Yan production in nuclear collisions is presented for SPS energies.

Due to its short lifetime, many QGP properties can only be inferred indirectly through a comparison of the final state measurements with transport model calculations. Among the current phenomena of interest are the interdependences between two collective flow phenomena, elliptic and triangular flow. The former is mostly related to the initial geometry and collective expansion of the system whereas the latter is sensitive to the fluctuations of the initial state. For our investigation we use a hybrid transport model based on the ultra-relativistic quantum molecular dynamics (UrQMD) transport approach using an ideal hydrodynamic expansion for the hot and dense stage. Using UrQMD initial conditions for an AuAu collision, particles resulting from a collision are mapped into an energy density distribution that is evolved event-by-event with a hydrodynamic calculation. By averaging these distributions over different numbers of events, we have studied how the granularity/smoothness of the distribution affects the initial eccentricity, the initial triangularity, and the resulting flow components. The average elliptic flow in non-central collisions is not sensitive to the granularity, while triangular flow is. The triangularity might thus provide a good measure of the amount of initial state fluctuations that is necessary to reproduce the experimental data. © 2012 IOP Publishing Ltd.}, Doi = {10.1088/0954-3899/39/5/055102}, Key = {fds245289} } @article{fds245204, Author = {Moreland, JS and Bernhard, JE and Bass, SA}, Title = {Alternative ansatz to wounded nucleon and binary collision scaling in high-energy nuclear collisions}, Journal = {Physical Review C - Nuclear Physics}, Volume = {92}, Number = {1}, Publisher = {American Physical Society (APS)}, Year = {2015}, Month = {July}, ISSN = {0556-2813}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevC.92.011901}, Abstract = {We introduce a new parametric initial-condition model for high-energy nuclear collisions based on eikonal entropy deposition via a "reduced-thickness" function.

This uncertainty originates from using an emulator to interpolate the model’s prediction across a continuous space of parameters. In this work, we study the trade-offs between the emulator (interpolation) and statistical uncertainties.

The initial conditions are generated by a non-equilibrium hadronic transport approach and the size of their fluctuations can be adjusted by defining a Gaussian smoothing parameter σ. The dependence of the hydrodynamic evolution on the choices of σ and tstart is explored by means of a Gaussian emulator. To generate particle yields and elliptic flow that are compatible with experimental data the initial state parameters are constrained to be σ = 1 fm and tstart = 0.5 fm. In addition, the influence of changes in the equation of state is studied and the results of our event-by-event calculations are compared to a calculation with averaged initial conditions.

With advances in microscopic theories for nuclear interactions, the availability of experiments probing nuclear matter under conditions not reached before, endeavors to develop sophisticated and reliable transport simulations to interpret these experiments, and the advent of multi-messenger astronomy, the next decade will bring new opportunities for determining the nuclear matter EOS, elucidating its dependence on density, temperature, and isospin asymmetry. Among controlled terrestrial experiments, collisions of heavy nuclei at intermediate beam energies (from a few tens of MeV/nucleon to about 25 GeV/nucleon in the fixed-target frame) probe the widest ranges of baryon density and temperature, enabling studies of nuclear matter from a few tenths to about 5 times the nuclear saturation density and for temperatures from a few to well above a hundred MeV, respectively. Collisions of neutron-rich isotopes further bring the opportunity to probe effects due to the isospin asymmetry.

Due to net-baryon number conservation the dynamics is described by the fluid dynamical diffusion equation, which we extend to contain a white noise stochastic current. Including nonlinear couplings from the 3d Ising model universality class in the free energy functional, we solve the fully interacting theory in a finite size system. We observe that purely Gaussian white noise generates non-Gaussian fluctuations, but finite size effects and exact net-baryon number conservation lead to significant deviations from the expected behavior in equilibrated systems. In particular the skewness shows a qualitative deviation from infinite volume expectations. With this benchmark established we study the real-time dynamics of the fluctuations.

In QCD, the ratio of these transport coefficients to entropy density, ζ/s and η/s, depends nontrivially on the plasma's temperature. This is unlike in conformal systems where they take constant values such as η/s=1/(4π). Purpose: In this work, we show that in a (0+1)D boost-invariant fluid with no transverse expansion, a temperature-dependent ζ/s(T) or η/s(T) can be described by an equivalent effective viscosity ζ/seff or η/seff. This effective viscosity combines the actual temperature-dependent ζ/s(T) or η/s(T) with the temperature profile of the fluid. We extend the concept of effective viscosity in systems with transverse expansion and discuss how effective viscosities can be used to identify families of ζ/s(T) and η/s(T) that lead to similar hydrodynamic evolution. Methods: The Navier-Stokes relativistic hydrodynamic equations are used to provide a first definition of effective viscosity, in (0+1)D and (1+1)D. In the (0+1)D case, the analysis is extended to Israel-Stewart-type second-order hydrodynamics to clarify the effect of higher-order hydrodynamics corrections on the effective viscosity. Results: In a boost-invariant fluid with no transverse expansion [(0+1)D], the effective viscosity is expressed as a simple integral of ζ/s(T) or η/s(T) over temperature, with a weight determined by the speed of sound of the fluid. The result is general for any equation of state with a moderate temperature dependence of the speed of sound, including the QCD equation of state. This definition of effective viscosity can be used to identify infinite families of ζ/s(T) or η/s(T) that produce essentially indistinguishable temperature profiles. In a boost-invariant cylindrical system [(1+1)D], a similar definition of effective viscosity is obtained in terms of characteristic trajectories in time and transverse direction. This leads to an infinite number of constraints on an infinite functional space for ζ/s(T) and η/s(T). Realistic examples are presented by using a finite number of constraints on a finite functional space. Conclusions: The definition of effective viscosity in a (0+1)D system clarifies how infinite families of ζ/s(T) and η/s(T) can result in nearly identical hydrodynamic temperature profiles. By extending the study to a boost-invariant cylindrical [(1+1)D] fluid, we identify an approximate but more general definition of effective viscosity that highlights the potential and limits of the concept of effective viscosity in fluids with limited symmetries.}, Doi = {10.1103/PhysRevC.102.014903}, Key = {fds351400} } @article{fds315780, Author = {Hao, L and Healey, CG and Bass, SA}, Title = {Effective Visualization of Temporal Ensembles.}, Journal = {IEEE transactions on visualization and computer graphics}, Volume = {22}, Number = {1}, Pages = {787-796}, Year = {2016}, Month = {January}, ISSN = {1077-2626}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/tvcg.2015.2468093}, Abstract = {An ensemble is a collection of related datasets, called members, built from a series of runs of a simulation or an experiment. Ensembles are large, temporal, multidimensional, and multivariate, making them difficult to analyze. Another important challenge is visualizing ensembles that vary both in space and time. Initial visualization techniques displayed ensembles with a small number of members, or presented an overview of an entire ensemble, but without potentially important details. Recently, researchers have suggested combining these two directions, allowing users to choose subsets of members to visualization. This manual selection process places the burden on the user to identify which members to explore. We first introduce a static ensemble visualization system that automatically helps users locate interesting subsets of members to visualize. We next extend the system to support analysis and visualization of temporal ensembles. We employ 3D shape comparison, cluster tree visualization, and glyph based visualization to represent different levels of detail within an ensemble. This strategy is used to provide two approaches for temporal ensemble analysis: (1) segment based ensemble analysis, to capture important shape transition time-steps, clusters groups of similar members, and identify common shape changes over time across multiple members; and (2) time-step based ensemble analysis, which assumes ensemble members are aligned in time by combining similar shapes at common time-steps. Both approaches enable users to interactively visualize and analyze a temporal ensemble from different perspectives at different levels of detail. We demonstrate our techniques on an ensemble studying matter transition from hadronic gas to quark-gluon plasma during gold-on-gold particle collisions.}, Doi = {10.1109/tvcg.2015.2468093}, Key = {fds315780} } @article{fds245202, Author = {Nahrgang, M and Aichelin, J and Bass, S and Gossiaux, PB and Werner, K}, Title = {Elliptic and triangular flow of heavy flavor in heavy-ion collisions}, Journal = {Physical Review C - Nuclear Physics}, Volume = {91}, Number = {1}, Publisher = {American Physical Society (APS)}, Year = {2015}, Month = {January}, ISSN = {0556-2813}, url = {http://arxiv.org/abs/arXiv:1410.5396}, Abstract = {We investigate the elliptic and the triangular flow of heavy mesons in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions at the BNL Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider and the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

Each dataset, or member, of an ensemble is normally large, multidimensional, and spatio-temporal. Ensembles are used extensively by scientists and mathematicians, for example, by executing a simulation repeatedly with slightly different input parameters and saving the results in an ensemble to see how parameter choices affect the simulation. To draw inferences from an ensemble, scientists need to compare data both within and between ensemble members. We propose two techniques to support ensemble exploration and comparison: a pairwise sequential animation method that visualizes locally neighboring members simultaneously, and a screen door tinting method that visualizes subsets of members using screen space subdivision. We demonstrate the capabilities of both techniques, first using synthetic data, then with simulation data of heavy ion collisions in high-energy physics. Results show that both techniques are capable of supporting meaningful comparisons of ensemble data.}, Doi = {10.1117/12.912419}, Key = {fds245272} } @article{fds245309, Author = {Demir, N and Bass, SA}, Title = {Extracting hadronic viscosity from microscopic transport models}, Journal = {European Physical Journal C}, Volume = {62}, Number = {1}, Pages = {63-68}, Publisher = {Springer Nature}, Year = {2009}, Month = {Summer}, ISSN = {1434-6044}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-009-1000-8}, Abstract = {Ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) are thought to have created a Quark-Gluon Plasma, characterized by a very small shear viscosity to entropy density ratio η/s, close to the lower bound predicted for that quantity by string theory. However, due to the dynamics of the collision, the produced matter passes through a phase characterized by an expanding and rapidly cooling hadron gas with strongly increasing η/s. Such a rise in η/s would not be compatible with the success of (viscous) hydrodynamics, which requires a very small value of η/s throughout the full evolution of the reaction in order to successfully describe the collective flow seen in the experiments. Here we show that the inclusion of a pion-chemical potential, which is bound to arise due to the separation of chemical and kinetic freeze-out during the collision evolution, will reduce the value of η/s, and argue that introduction of other chemical potentials could ensure the successful application of (viscous) hydrodynamics to collisions at RHIC. © 2009 Springer-Verlag / Società Italiana di Fisica.}, Doi = {10.1140/epjc/s10052-009-1000-8}, Key = {fds245309} } @article{fds352105, Author = {Yao, X and Ke, W and Xu, Y and Bass, S and Mehen, T and Müller, B}, Title = {Fate of heavy quark bound states inside quark-gluon plasma}, Journal = {Hadron Spectroscopy and Structure}, Publisher = {WORLD SCIENTIFIC}, Year = {2020}, Month = {August}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1142/9789811219313_0118}, Doi = {10.1142/9789811219313_0118}, Key = {fds352105} } @article{fds343801, Author = {Abada, A and Abbrescia, M and AbdusSalam, SS and Abdyukhanov, I and Fernandez, JA and Abramov, A and Aburaia, M and Acar, AO and Adzic, PR and Agrawal, P and Aguilar-Saavedra, JA and Aguilera-Verdugo, JJ and Aiba, M and Aichinger, I and Aielli, G and Akay, A and Akhundov, A and Aksakal, H and Albacete, JL and Albergo, S and Alekou, A and Aleksa, M and Aleksan, R and Fernandez, RMA and Alexahin, Y and Alía, RG and Alioli, S and Tehrani, NA and Allanach, BC and Allport, PP and Altınlı, M and Altmannshofer, W and Ambrosio, G and Amorim, D and Amstutz, O and Anderlini, L and Andreazza, A and Andreini, M and Andriatis, A and Andris, C and Andronic, A and Angelucci, M and Antinori, F and Antipov, SA and Antonelli, M and Antonello, M and Antonioli, P and Antusch, S and Anulli, F and Apolinário, L and Apollinari, G and Apollonio, A and Appelö, D and Appleby, RB and Apyan, A and Arbey, A and Arbuzov, A and Arduini, G and Arı, V and Arias, S and Armesto, N and Arnaldi, R and Arsenyev, SA and Arzeo, M and Asai, S and Aslanides, E and Aßmann, RW and Astapovych, D and Atanasov, M and Atieh, S and Attié, D and Auchmann, B and Audurier, A and Aull, S and Aumon, S and Aune, S and Avino, F and Avrillaud, G and Aydın, G and Azatov, A and Azuelos, G and Azzi, P and Azzolini, O and Azzurri, P and Bacchetta, N and Bacchiocchi, E and Bachacou, H and Baek, YW and Baglin, V and Bai, Y and Baird, S and Baker, MJ and Baldwin, MJ and Ball, AH and Ballarino, A and Banerjee, S and Barber, DP and Barducci, D and Barjhoux, P}, Title = {FCC Physics Opportunities: Future Circular Collider Conceptual Design Report Volume 1}, Journal = {European Physical Journal C}, Volume = {79}, Number = {6}, Publisher = {Springer Science and Business Media LLC}, Year = {2019}, Month = {June}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-019-6904-3}, Abstract = {We review the physics opportunities of the Future Circular Collider, covering its e+e-, pp, ep and heavy ion programmes.

Within this approach we have self-consistently calculated the freeze-out of the hadronic system, accounting for the collective flow on the hadronization hypersurface generated by the QGP expansion. We have compared the results of our hybrid model and of a calculation utilizing our hydrodynamic model for the full evolution of the reaction to experimental data. This comparison has allowed us to quantify the strength of dissipative effects prevalent in the later hadronic phase of the reaction, which cannot be properly treated in the framework of ideal hydrodynamics. Overall, the improved treatment of the hadronic phase provides a far better agreement between transport calculation and data, in particular concerning the flavor dependence of radial flow observables and the collective behavior of matter at forward/backward rapidities. We find that the hadronic phase of the heavy-ion reaction at top RHIC energy is of significant duration (at least 10 fm/c) and that hadronic freeze-out is a continuous process, strongly depending on hadron flavor and momenta.

The role of parameter priors is studied in light of their importance towards the interpretation of results. We emphasize the use of closure tests to perform extensive validation of the analysis workflow before comparison with observations. Our study combines measurements from the Large Hadron Collider and the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, achieving a good simultaneous description of a wide range of hadronic observables from both colliders. The selected experimental data provide reasonable constraints on the shear and the bulk viscosities of the quark-gluon plasma at $T\sim$ 150-250 MeV, but their constraining power degrades at higher temperatures $T \gtrsim 250$ MeV. Furthermore, these viscosity constraints are found to depend significantly on how viscous corrections are handled in the transition from hydrodynamics to the hadronic transport. Several other model parameters, including the free-streaming time, show similar model sensitivity while the initial condition parameters associated with the T$_\mathrm{R}$ENTo ansatz are quite robust against variations of the particlization prescription.

We find that in the transport approach quantities like energy density and bulk viscous pressure are highly inhomogeneous on the transverse plane during the whole evolution, whereas the hydrodynamic simulations dissolve more efficiently the initial spatial irregularities, still keeping a high degree of inhomogeneity due to the smaller size and lifetime of the medium produced in p+Pb collisions with respect to heavy-ion reactions. As a first step that will help to identify the impact of these nonequilibrium effects on final observables in proton-nucleus collisions, we perform an analysis of the transverse spherocity, an event-shape observable able to distinguish between jetty and isotropic configurations of transverse momenta. We found that the spherocity distribution in PHSD is slightly shifted towards the isotropic limit with respect to the hydrodynamic result. Even though this dissimilarity is partially due to the difference in the final charged particle production, it mainly comes from the different description within the two frameworks of the medium produced in small colliding systems.

The extraction of these numbers from experimental data requires dynamical modeling of heavy-flavor transport that is coupled to realistic medium evolution. Furthermore, meaningful extractions necessitate both a faithful implementation of the physical inputs to be tested and the quantification of model uncertainty. For these purposes, we have developed a partonic transport model LIDO [1, 2]. It has an improved treatment of in-medium parton bremsstrahlung, which has been calibrated to theoretical calculations in a simple medium to reduce modeling uncertainty. Regarding the interaction between heavy quark and the medium, few-body perturbative scatterings are applied to large-momentum transfer (q) processes, while a diffusion equation models the dynamics of small-q processes. Such a separation restricts the explicit use of medium quasi-particles to large-q processes only. Another advantage is that deviations from the leading-order probe-medium coupling can be parametrized as an additional contribution to the diffusion constant. The heavy quark transport coefficients are then extracted with uncertainty estimation from a Bayesian analysis including both the RHIC and the LHC data. The results are found to be consistent with earlier extraction of the light-quark transport coefficients at high momentum and be comparable with lattice calculations of the heavy-flavor diffusion constant in the static limit at low momentum.}, Doi = {10.1016/j.nuclphysa.2020.122039}, Key = {fds357917} } @article{fds245205, Author = {Bernhard, JE and Marcy, PW and Coleman-Smith, CE and Huzurbazar, S and Wolpert, RL and Bass, SA}, Title = {Quantifying properties of hot and dense QCD matter through systematic model-to-data comparison}, Journal = {Physical Review C - Nuclear Physics}, Volume = {91}, Number = {5}, Publisher = {American Physical Society (APS)}, Year = {2015}, Month = {May}, ISSN = {0556-2813}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevC.91.054910}, Abstract = {We systematically compare an event-by-event heavy-ion collision model to data from the CERN Large Hadron Collider.

The microscopic transport model UrQMD is used for this analysis. The predicted Λ/π-, Ξ-/π- and Ω-/π- ratios are enhanced due to rescattering in central Pb-Pb collisions as compared to peripheral Pb-Pb or p-Pb collisions. However, the enhancement is substantially smaller than observed experimentally. The enhancement depends strongly on the kinematical cuts. The maximum enhancement is predicted around midrapidity. For A's, strangeness suppression is predicted at projectile/target rapidity. For Λ's, the predicted enhancement can be as large as one order of magnitude. Comparisons of Pb-Pb data to proton induced asymmetric (p-A) collisions are hampered due to the predicted strong asymmetry in the various rapidity distributions of the different (strange) particle species. In p-Pb collisions, strangeness is locally (in rapidity) not conserved. The present comparison to the data of the WA97 and NA49 Collaborations clearly supports the suggestion that conventional (free) hadronic scenarios are unable to describe the observed high (anti-)hyperon yields in central collisions. A reduction of the constituent quark masses to the current quark masses m(s) ~ 230 Me V, m(q) ~ 10 MeV, as motivated by chiral symmetry restoration, yields hyperon production close to the experimentally observed high values. An ad hoc overall increase of the color electric field strength (effective string tension of κ = 3 Ge V/fm) yields similar results. It has been suggested that these findings might be interpreted as a signal of a phase of nearly massless particles.

First, we have absorbed the pQCD scatterings with small momentum transfers to the medium into the diffusion part of the LIDO model, and we have restricted the use of vacuum matrix elements to large momentum transfer processes. This study allows us to construct a model that smoothly interpolates between a pure pQCD based approach and a radiation-improved Langevin equation by tuning a single scale parameter. Second, the Monte-Carlo implementation of the Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal effect of the original model has been improved to account for multiple scatterings of gluons. The simulated radiative energy loss can be tuned to quantitatively agree with semi-analytic theory calculations both for a static (finite / infinite) medium and for a dynamic expanding medium.

In this paper we study how their dynamics is affected by the nature of the bulk evolution of the QCD matter, the initial condition of the system, and the treatment of elementary interactions between heavy quarks and the surrounding medium. For the same initial condition and the same quark-gluon plasma (QGP) expansion scenario we discuss the consequences of the assumption of a local equilibrium by comparing the consequences for the nuclear modification factor RAA and the elliptic flows of charm quarks, scrutinizing the different components of the final distribution of charm quarks. For this purpose we employ the parton-hadron-string dynamics (PHSD) model, which is an off-shell microscopic transport approach, as well as the linearized-Boltzmann (LB) scheme obtained by coarse graining the PHSD bulk and assuming local equilibrium for the interactions of the charm quarks with the bulk. The RAA of charm quarks stemming from the later LB approach is also compared to a genuine fluid dynamics evolution initiated by the coarse grained PHSD, which allows us to further assess the consequences of reducing the full n-body dynamics. We then proceed to a systematic comparison of PHSD (in its LB approximation) with MC@HQ, another transport model for heavy flavors which also relies on the LB approach. In particular, we investigate the consequences for the nuclear modification factor of charm quarks if we vary separately the initial heavy quark distribution function in matter, the expansion dynamics of the QGP, and the elementary interactions of heavy quarks of these models.

The expansion of the dense deconfined phase of the reaction is modeled with viscous hydrodynamics, while the dilute late hadron gas stage is described microscopically by the Boltzmann equation. The advantages of such a hybrid approach lie in the improved capability of handling large dissipative corrections in the late dilute phase of the reaction, including a realistic treatment of the nonequilibrium hadronic chemistry and kinetic freeze-out. By varying the switching temperature at which the hydrodynamic output is converted to particles for further propagation with the Boltzmann cascade we test the ability of the macroscopic hydrodynamic approach to emulate the microscopic evolution during the hadronic stage and extract the temperature dependence of the effective shear viscosity of the hadron resonance gas produced in the collision. We find that the extracted values depend on the prior hydrodynamic history and hence do not represent fundamental transport properties of the hadron resonance gas. We conclude that viscous fluid dynamics does not provide a faithful description of hadron resonance gas dynamics with predictive power, and that both components of the hybrid approach are needed for a quantitative description of the fireball expansion and its freeze-out. © 2011 American Physical Society.}, Doi = {10.1103/PhysRevC.83.024912}, Key = {fds245300} } @article{fds332350, Author = {Hao, L and Healey, CG and Bass, SA and Yu, HY}, Title = {Visualizing static ensembles for effective shape and data comparison}, Journal = {IS and T International Symposium on Electronic Imaging Science and Technology}, Year = {2016}, Month = {January}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.2352/issn.2470-1173.2016.1.vda-509}, Abstract = {Ensembles are large, multidimensional, multivariate datasets generated in areas like physical and natural science to study real-world phenomena.

As the produced matter expands and cools, it evolves through a phase described by a hadron gas with rapidly increasing η / s.
