The applicability of hydrodynamics in heavy ion collisions at $$\sqrt{s_\mathrm{NN}}$$ = 2.4–7.7 GeV

Abstract To assess the degree of equilibration of the matter created in heavy-ion reactions at low to intermediate beam energies, a hadronic transport approach (SMASH) is employed. By using a coarse-graining method, we compute the energy momentum tensor of the system at fixed time steps and evaluate... View More
