Description

The Ultra-relativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamic model (UrQMD 3.3) is a microscopic model based on a phase space description of nuclear reaction and it can now support the Large Hadron Collider energies (LHC) of up to a $\sqrt(s_{nn}$) = 14 TeV. This model is used to simulate the ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions of a finite matter between two Pb+Pb and Au+Au collisions at an energy of E$_{ecm}$ = 200 GeV and t = 400-2 fm/c. The simulated results are then used to calculate the rapidity distributions and particle ratios of both mesons particles (π, ρ, and K) and baryons particles (p and $\bar{p}$). The rapidity results show that at early time t fm/c the rapidity of all three light mesons is maximum at mid-rapidity and that of (p and $\bar{p}$) are depicted at mid-rapidity for both Pb+Pb and Au+Au collisions. The particle ratios between different particle species are then compared between that of Pb+Pb collision with that of Au+Au Collision. The results are in good agreement with the previous studies done.
