Heavy ion collisions from $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ of 62.4 GeV down to 4 GeV in the EPOS4 framework

The EPOS4 project is an attempt to construct a realistic model for describing relativistic collisions of different systems, from proton-proton ($pp$) to nucleus-nucleus ($AA$), at energies from several TeV per nucleon down to several GeV. We argue that a parallel scattering formalism (as in EPOS4) is relevant for primary scatterings in AA collisions above 4 GeV, whereas sequential scattering (cascade) is appropriate below. We present briefly the basic elements of EPOS4, and then investigate heavy ion collisions from 62.4 GeV down to 4 GeV, to understand how physics changes with energy, studying in particular the disappearance of the fluid component at low energies.
