Spacetime profile of electromagnetic fields in intermediate-energy heavy-ion collisions
Abstract
I numerically estimate the spacetime profile of the electromagnetic fields produced in intermediate-energy heavy-ion collisions at for a wide range of impact parameters , using a hadronic cascade model, JAM (Jet AA Microscopic transport model). I demonstrate that (1) the produced electromagnetic fields are as strong as ; (2) that the produced fields extend in spacetime about ; (3) that the magnetic field dominates around the collision point, while the other broad regions of spacetime are dominated by the electric field; and (4) that a topological electromagnetic-field configuration such that is realized.
