Description
The interaction of particles is one of the fundamental questions in Physics. We decided to study the interaction between a gluon gas produced at the onset of ‘Heavy Ion Collisions’, and forming pions and other hadrons. To do so, we develop a code for Graphics Processing Units, using CUDA as program language, based on the CPU code ‘Boltzmann Approach for Many Parton Scattering (BAMPS)’ developed in Frankfurt. Therefore we denominated our code as CuBA. To get a good compromise between computational runtime and physical accuracy, we used the application of microscopic theories together with strong assumptions like neglecting quantum mechanical effects. Furthermore, we benchmark our code with the Riemann Problem, studying the propagation of shock waves in the gluon plasma. The resulting data can be used to confirm the CPU code and improve the study of shocking particles.
