Preliminary Results from the Parton-Hadron-Quantum-Molecular Dynamics (PHQMD) Transport Approach

We present first results of the novel microscopic n-body dynamical transport approach PHQMD (Parton-Hadron-Quantum-Molecular-Dynamics) for the description of particle production and cluster formation (including hypernuclei) in heavy-ion reactions at relativistic energies. The PHQMD extends the established PHSD (Parton-Hadron-String-Dynamics) transport approach by introducing n-body quantum molecular dynamic type propagation of hadrons. This allows for a dynamical description of cluster formation based on the FRIGA (Fragment Recognition In General Application) model
