Transport model comparisons for intermediate-energy heavy-ion collisions

Abstract

Transport model comparisons under controlled conditions are performed in order to evaluate the robustness of their predictions in heavy-ion collisions (HICs). Including many of the currently used transport codes comparisons are done in periodic boxes and for typical HICs at intermediate energies in the hadronc regime. In this way we succeed to understand the different results between codes and evaluate different simulation strategies. Ways to arrive at an uncertainty quantification of transport model studies are discussed.
