Hadron-hadron collisions at high energies are investigated in the Ultrarelativistic-Quantum-Molecular-Dynamics approach. This microscopic transport model describes the phenomenology of hadronic interactions at low and intermediate energies ( √ s < 5 GeV) in terms of interactions between known hadrons and their resonances. At higher energies, √ s > 5 GeV, the excitation of color strings and their subsequent fragmentation into hadrons dominates the multiple production of particles in the UrQMD model. The model shows a fair overall agreement with a large body of experimental h-h data over a wide range of h-h center-of-mass energies. Hadronic reaction data with higher precision would be useful to support the use of the UrQMD model for relativistic heavy ion collisions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
