Analysis of Glauber model Monte Carlo simulation of Pb+Pb collisions

Abstract

This review delves into the theoretical foundations, experimental methodologies, and observational aspects of the Glauber Model in the realm of relativistic heavy-ion physics. Our investigation utilizes Glauber Monte Carlo simulations to anticipate and evaluate the anticipated outcomes of an upcoming ultra-relativistic Pb+Pb collision study. Our primary focus centers on analyzing the initial geometric characteristics of these collisions, particularly with respect to the impact parameter. We also examine critical parameters such as the count of participating nucleons to gain insights into the collision dynamics. This comprehensive exploration provides a valuable perspective on the intricacies of heavy-ion interactions, shedding light on the underlying mechanisms and offering predictive power for future experiments in the field of relativistic heavy-ion physics.
