✦ Synopsis

We present Monte-Carlo simulations for heavy-ion collisions combining PYTHIA and the McGill-AMY formalism to describe the evolution of hard partons in a soft background, modelled using hydrodynamic simulations. MARTINI generates full event configurations in the high p T region that take into account thermal QCD and QED effects as well as effects of the evolving medium. This way it is possible to perform detailed quantitative comparisons with experimental observables.

We have carried out Monte Carlo simulation of the motion of Ar + ions in the space charge sheath surrounding a cylindrical Langmuir probe. The ion currents to the probe have been calculated from these simulations and the percentages of ions crossing the sheath boundary that are collected by the prob
