MICROSCOPIC REACTION DYNAMICS IN ULTRA-RELATIVISTIC HEAVY-ION COLLISIONS AT SPS AND RHIC

摘要

The current status of transport theoretical models applicable to the physics of the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider is reviewed. The time evolution of microscopic reaction dynamics - from early, hard, partonic rescattering up to soft hadronic interactions close to freeze-out is analyzed and key observables linked to the different reaction stages are discussed.
