The subsection Heavy_Flavor of the Collision_Term section can be used to modify the suppression parameters for AQM cross sections regarding bottom and charm hadrons. For example:
Collision_Term:
Heavy_Flavor:
AQM_Bottom_Suppression: 0.93
AQM_Charm_Suppression: 0.8
AQM_Bottom_Suppression — double, optional, default = 0.93 — Conditions on key value: \(0\leq x\leq 1\)
Suppression parameter for AQM cross sections involving a bottom hadron. Default value taken from Angantyr (Bierlich:2022pfr [11]).
AQM_Charm_Suppression — double, optional, default = 0.8 — Conditions on key value: \(0\leq x\leq 1\)
Suppression parameter for AQM cross sections involving a charm hadron. Default value taken from Angantyr (Bierlich:2022pfr [11]).
Charm_Rescattering_Method — string, optional, default = "resonances" — Conditions on key value: Only valid strings
With this key, the method of charm rescattering at lower energies can be chosen for two to two reactions including charmed hadrons that are mentioned in Included_2to2.
"resonances" → Charm interactions are realized via resonance formations."T-matrix" → Tabulated cross sections (Abreu:2011ic [1], Tolos:2013kva [69], Torres-Rincon:2014ffa [70]) are used, which handle elastic and inelastic binary collisions. Force_Decays_At_End should be set to true to handle decays properly."none" → Interactions of charmed hadrons will not be taken into account, i.e. their cross sections are set to zero."Charm_T-matrix" in Included_2to2, without listing every possible value except "Charm_T-matrix".
