We introduce a combined macroscopic-microscopic transport approach employing relativistic hydrodynamics for the early, dense, deconfined stage of the reaction and a microscopic nonequilibrium model for the later hadronic stage where the equilibrium assumptions are not valid anymore. Within this approach we study the dynamics of hot, bulk QCD matter, which is expected to be created in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions at the Super Proton Synchrotron, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, and the Large Hadron Collider. Our approach is capable of self-consistently calculating the freeze-out of the hadronic system, while accounting for the collective flow on the hadronization hypersurface generated by the QGP expansion. In particular, we perform a detailed analysis of the reaction dynamics, hadronic freeze-out, and transverse flow. (c) 2000 The American Physical Society.

- Properties of hot and dense matter from relativistic heavy ion collisions (2015, background): “Ideally, these distribution functions are evolved further using a hadronic transport model [202, 203], but at a minimum one has to include feed-down from hadronic resonance decays.”
- Gauge/String Duality, Hot QCD and Heavy Ion Collisions (2011, background): “Alternatively, at a higher temperature close to the crossover where hadrons are formed, one can map the hydrodynamic fields onto a hadron cascade which accounts for the effects of rescattering in the interacting hadronic phase without assuming that its behavior is hydrodynamic [115, 116].”
