MC-EKRT: Monte Carlo event generator with saturated minijet production for initializing 3+1 D fluid dynamics in high energy nuclear collisions

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: We present a novel saturation and leading order collinear factorization based Monte-Carlo implementation of the EKRT model for computing QCD matter initial states in high-energy nuclear collisions. As new features the MC implementation gives a full 3-dimensional initial state event-by-event, introduces new event-by-event fluctuating spatially dependent nuclear parton distribution functions, includes dynamical fluctuations in minijet production and saturation, and accounts for the energy-momentum and valence-quark number conservation.
