Abstract
A hybrid (hydrodynamics + hadronic transport) theoretical framework is assembled to model the bulk dynamics of relativistic heavy-ion collisions at energies accessible in the beam energy scan program at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider and the NA61/SHINE experiment at CERN. The system’s energy-momentum tensor and net-baryon current are evolved according to relativistic hydrodynamics with finite shear viscosity and nonzero net-baryon diffusion. Our hydrodynamic description is matched to a hadronic transport model in the dilute region. With this fully integrated theoretical framework, we present a pilot study of the hadronic chemistry, particle spectra, and anisotropic flow. Phenomenological effects of a nonzero net-baryon current and its diffusion on hadronic observables are presented for the first time. The importance of the hadronic transport phase is also investigated.
