Simulating heavy-ion collisions at finite baryon densities

We present results from our new framework simulating heavy-ion collisions at non-zero baryon densities. We dynamically initialize the system using a LEXUS [1] inspired 3D Monte-Carlo initialization model. Our initial-state model parameters are constrained by nucleon-nucleon collision data. We use the hydrodynamic package MUSIC [2] to solve the hydrodynamic equations and perform the Cooper-Frye procedure. We used departure func- tions derived from the quasiparticle theory [3] of transport coefficients for hadronic matter at non-zero baryon density. We employ a crossover equation of state which connects the equations of state of an excluded volume hadron resonance gas with that of perturbative QCD [4].
