The authors present a Monte Carlo program that solves the parton Boltzmann equation via a cascade method. The program models gluon‑gluon elastic scattering with a medium‑generated screening mass, offers three geometric modes (3‑D expansion, 1‑D expansion, and box scattering), and employs space‑cell division to reduce computational cost. This implementation achieves a large speedup, making the code highly optimized for simulating parton cascades in ultrarelativistic heavy‑ion collisions.
A Monte Carlo program solving the Boltzmann equation for partons via the cascade method is presented. At presented, only gluon-gluon elastic scattering is included. The scattering cross section is regulated by a medium generated screening mass. Three different geometric modes (3-dimensional expansion, 1-d expansion, and scattering inside a box) are provided for both the theoretical study of parton transport and the application of the cascade method. Space cell division is available to save the number of computer operations. This improves the speed of the calculation by a large factor and makes the code best optimized for simulation of parton cascade in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions.
