AMPT: A Multi-Phase Transport model for high energy heavy ion collisions
What happens in a high energy collision of two Gold nuclei?
  (this animation uses the actual AMPT result for the side view of a central Au+Au collision at 130AGeV)
Thomson Reuters ScienceWatch interview on AMPT in June 2011

Calculating the average event trajectory of central A+A collisions in the QCD phase diagram
  (a semi-analytical method that includes the nonzero nuclear thickness at finite energies)
