HIJING++, a Heavy Ion Jet INteraction Generator for the High-luminosity Era of the LHC and Beyond

Understand

HIJING++ (Heavy Ion Jet INteraction Generator) is the successor of the widely used original HIJING, developed almost three decades ago.

• While the old versions (1.x and 2.x) were written in FORTRAN, HIJING++ was completely rewritten in C++.
• During the development we keep in mind the requirements of the high-energy heavy-ion community: the new Monte Carlo software have a well designed modular framework, therefore any future modifications are much easier to implement.
• It contains all the physical models that were also present in it's predecessor, but utilizing modern C++ features it also includes native thread based parallelism, an easy-to-use analysis interface and a modular plugin system, which makes room for possible future improvements.
