Hybrid-handler

Event-by-event hybrid model for the description of relativistic heavy-ion collisions in the low and high baryon-density regime. This model constitutes a chain of different submodules to appropriately describe each phase of the collision with its corresponding degrees of freedom. It consists of the following stages and supported software modules are listed within each stage:

  Initial conditions

  SMASH (hadronic transport approach)

  Hydrodynamics to describe the evolution of the hot and dense fireball

  vHLLE (3+1D viscous hydrodynamics approach)

  including CORNELIUS to construct a constant energy density hypersurface from the hydrodynamical evolution

  Hadron sampler to perform Cooper-Frye particlization of the elements on the freezeout hypersurface

  SMASH hadron sampler

  FIST sampler

  Afterburner evolution

  SMASH (hadronic transport approach)

Give credit appropriately  

If you are using the Hybrid-handler, please cite the corresponding software DOI of the specific code version employed. Depending on the stages and modules you are using, please cite the appropriate papers and software DOIs as well.

For example, if you use the SMASH-vHLLE-hybrid approach, besides citing the Hybrid-handler itself, you should cite Eur.Phys.J.A 58(2022)11, 230 for the physics aspects. This paper can be also consulted for further details on the underlying physics. Additionally, you should cite the individual software package used for each stage, i.e. SMASH, vHLLE, and the SMASH hadron sampler.
