Flavor Equilibration

The flavor equilibration input file must be provided in order to run a workflow with the Flavor Equilibration module, but it is optional for the Lepton module. The input file requires the following columns:

Variable

Unit

Temperature (T)

MeV

Baryon chemical potential (\(\mu_B\))

MeV

Strange chemical potential (\(\mu_S\))

MeV

Electron chemical potential (\(\mu_e\))

MeV

Baryon density (\(n_B\))

fm-3

Strange density (\(n_S\))

fm-3

Electric charge density (\(n_Q\))

fm-3

Energy density (\(\varepsilon_B\))

MeV/fm3

Pressure (\(P_B\))

MeV/fm3

Entropy density (\(s_B\))

1/fm3

Proton effective mass (\(m_p^*\))

MeV

Neutron effective mass (\(m_n^*\))

MeV

Proton chemical potential (\(\mu_p\))

MeV

Neutron chemical potential (\(\mu_n\))

MeV

Proton baryon density (\(n_p\))

fm-3

Neutron baryon density (\(n_n\))

fm-3

Proton optical potential (\(U_p\))

MeV

Neutron optical potential (\(U_n\))

MeV

To generate the output file, named charge_neutrality_flavor_equilibration.csv, both the use_charge_neutrality and output_flavor_equilibration options must be enabled, and the files eos_input_file and flavor_equilibration_input_file must be provided in the config file if you are not using the Calculation Engine.

Important: Currently, the Flavor Equilibration module can only handle electrons, so please do not enable any other particles.
