We start with the effective string rope model (ESRM) [V. K. Magas, L. P. Csernai, and D. D. Strottman, Phys. Rev. C 64, 014901 (2001); Nucl. Phys. A 712, 167 (2002)] and generalize it in order to take into account fluctuations in the initial state following the Glauber Monte Carlo approach. Results from symmetric nucleus-nucleus collisions at different impact parameters are presented at energies available at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC); additionally we study asymmetric A+Au head-on collisions. We also compare the results obtained in the GESRM on an event-by-event basis with those received averaging initial states over many events24 p.application/pdfeng(c) American Physical Society, 2023Física nuclearCol·lisions d'ions pesatsNuclear physicsHeavy ion collisionGeneralized effective string rope model for the initial stages of ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisionsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article7328512023-03-23info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
