Description
We discuss the merits of using event generators in heavy ion physics and related systems, and give an overview of the family of JETSCAPE frameworks. We discuss recent updates and future plans regarding these event generators. We also present some recent results obtained with these frameworks, including a 3+1D Bayesian calibration of the soft sector using A+A and p+A data, a pilot study for Bayesian inference using combined data from the soft and hard sector of heavy ion collisions, and a discussion of direct photons in nuclear collisions.
