A relativistic cascade for heavy ion collisions
- Department of Physics, Building 510A, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, New York 11973 (United States)
Au on Au collisions at the BNL/AGS (11.6 GeV-A/c) are expected to produce a short lived state of matter at high baryon density. If the baryons reach sufficiently high density, they may produce a quark-gluon plasma (QGP). The signals from a QGP phase may be difficult to distinguish from those of ordinary hadronic matter. We have constructed a relativistic cascade (ARC) for hadrons in an attempt to model the dynamics of ordinary hadronic matter in a heavy ion collision, in the hopes that deviations from the cascade results may indicate new physics. In this contribution I will discuss the formation of high baryon density matter, and its effect on antiproton production. {copyright} {ital 1995} {ital American} {ital Institute} {ital of} {ital Physics}.
