Assessing Different Quark–Gluon Plasma Formation Criteria in Heavy-Ion Collisions Using Transport, Hydrodynamic, and Hybrid Models
JIPNR-Sosny,
We study possible criteria for quark–gluon plasma formation in heavy-ion collisions using UrQMD, THESEUS, and PYTHIA 8. The results illustrate the model dependence of QGP-formation conditions and help identify suitable observables for their experimental study.
