Description
Relativistic Heavy-Ion collisions (RHICs) not only bring us the opportunity to study strongly interacting mat-
ter under extreme temperatures and densities, but also these can be a powerful tool to probe subtle nuclear
structure differences, like neutron skin or nuclear deformations.
In this talk, firstly I’ll focus on hybrid model simulation of RHICs, where different phases or stages of the
reaction are simulated with different (physically most suitable!) theoretical approaches. In our group we use
SMASH+vHLLE+SMASH (hadronic cascade + viscous hydrodynamics + hadronic cascade) combination of
modules.
Secondly, I’ll explain how RHICs can be used as a tool to study nuclear structure employing isobar collisions.
Finally, I will compare the preliminary results of our group with experimental data from Ru+Ru (Ruthenium-
96) and Zr+Zr (Zirconium-96) collisions measured at RHIC@BNL.
