Comparing Relativistic Heavy Ion Data to Models using Rivet

The Quark-gluon plasma (QGP) is a form of matter consisting of hot, dense, interacting particles formed during high-energy collisions. The Robust Independent Validation of Experimental and Theory (Rivet) toolkit allows us to analyze the different aspects of collisions, including particle spectra and correlations. A single analysis written in Rivet enables us to compare the experimental data with multiple theoretical Monte Carlo models, including PYTHIA Anganytr, HIJING, AMPT, EPOS, and JETSCAPE. By implementing multiple analyses from measurements done at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory, we can see which models best describe the data and gain a better understanding of the QGP and its properties.
