Abstract

Under the extreme conditions of temperature generated in relativistic heavy-ion collisions, a fasci-

nating ﬂuid-like state of matter where quarks and gluons are no longer conﬁned is formed, the Quark

Gluon Plasma (QGP). The most modern computational approaches are multi-stage (hybrid) simula-

tions, in which diﬀerent models are used in a chain structure, each one dedicated to the description

of a speciﬁc stage of the collision.

The hydrodynamic stage of the simulation requires an energy density proﬁle of the system as an

initial condition. In the process of converting the two colliding nuclei in such an energy distribution,

some speciﬁcation about the nucleon size inevitably has to be made. Nucleons are usually modeled

as bidimensional Gaussians, and the Gaussian width (the nucleon-width) is a free parameter of the

simulation. A best-ﬁt value of the nucleon-width can be inferred by Bayesian Analyses, where the

model is confronted with experimental data.

Some of the most recent analyses have obtained surprisingly large values for the nucleon width

parameter, exceeding in over 50 % the current value for the proton charged radius. This motivates

the development of a better understanding of the role played by this parameter inside the simulation.

In this work, we perform simulations of relativistic heavy-ion collisions using a state-of-the-art

hybrid simulation chain, using three diﬀerent values of the nucleon width inside the initial condition

generator TRENTo, and systematically investigate its eﬀects on the initial condition characteristics

and observables. The nucleon-width strongly aﬀects the eccentricity harmonics and the gradients in

the initial condition. The mean pTof particles in the simulation using w= 0.5 fm is much larger than

experimental data. We associate this to the combination of stronger gradients in the initial condition

and the coupling of a conformal pre-equilibrium dynamics to the hydrodynamic simulation.

Keywords: Heavy-ion phenomenology, Heavy-ion collisions, High-energy nuclear physics.
