View source for (3+1)-dimensional ideal fluid dynamics (Hirano et al.)

Tetsufumi Hirano, 06/26/2008

The package 
[http://tkynt2.phys.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~hirano/parevo/parevo.html PAREVO]
interpolates outputs (in special format) from (3+1)-dimensional ideal fluid simulations [http://link.aps.org/abstract/PRC/v66/e054905], [http://link.aps.org/abstract/PRC/v65/e011901] and returns local thermodynamic quantities (e.g., energy density and temperature) and flow velocities at ''any'' space-time points above the decoupling temperature <math>T=100 \mbox{MeV}</math>.
 
Currently, only results in several specific centralities in Au+Au collisions at <math>\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200 \mbox{GeV}</math> are available. For initial conditions, we employ the Glauber type transverse profile and the so-called "BGK" type longitudinal profile for entropy density distributions. For details on initial conditions, see the following papers [http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.physletb.2006.03.060], [http://link.aps.org/abstract/PRC/v77/e044909].

This package helps ones to quantitatively estimate parton energy loss, heavy quark diffusion, J/psi suppression etc. on the hydrodynamic background. For an example of an analysis of J/psi suppression using this package, see Ref. [http://link.aps.org/abstract/PRC/v76/e051901].
