The UrQMD Collaboration

The Ultrarelativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics model is a microscopic model used to simulate (ultra)relativistic heavy ion collisons in the energy range from Bevalac and SIS up to AGS, SPS and RHIC. Main goals are to gain understanding about the following physical phenomena within a single transport model:

Creation of dense hadronic matter at high temperatures
Properties of nuclear matter, Delta & Resonance matter
Creation of mesonic matter and of anti-matter
Creation and transport of rare particles in hadronic matter.
Creation, modification and destruction of strangeness in matter
Emission of electromagnetic probes

UrQMD has also been used as a component of various hybrid transport approaches, e.g.

Hydro+UrQMD
PCM+UrQMD
UrQMD+deexcitation models for nuclear waste calculations
GEANT4
CORSIKA+UrQMD for air-shower simulations
SENECA+UrQMD for air-shower sumulations
