abstract: 'We present a relativistic molecular dynamics approach based on the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio Lagrangian. We derive the relativistic time evolution equations for an expanding plasma, discuss the hadronization cross section, and explain how they act in such a scenario. We present in detail how one can transform the time evolution equation to a simulation program and apply this program to study the expansion of a plasma created in experiments at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and the Large Hadron Collider. We present first results on the centrality dependence of $v_2$ and of the transverse momentum spectra of pions and kaons and discuss in detail the hadronization mechanism.'
