The paper presents the Ultra-Relativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (UrQMD) model for simulating hadron-hadron collisions at high energies. The model incorporates both low-energy hadronic interactions and high-energy processes involving color strings and their fragmentation. It is validated against experimental data across a wide range of center-of-mass energies, showing good agreement for most observables. The model includes a detailed set of hadronic interactions, with cross-sections calculated using the Additive Quark Model (AQM) for unknown processes. The UrQMD model is the first to include color coherent phenomena and accounts for color opacity and transparency effects. It describes the formation and decay of resonances and strings, and the fragmentation of strings into hadrons. The model is used to predict various observables, including transverse momentum generation and cross-sections for different hadronic reactions. The paper discusses the application of the UrQMD model to heavy-ion collisions and highlights its ability to simulate a wide range of hadronic interactions, from low to high energies. The model is also used to study the dynamics of particle production in collisions, including the role of resonances and string fragmentation. The paper concludes that the UrQMD model provides a comprehensive framework for understanding hadron-hadron collisions and their implications for heavy-ion reactions.The paper presents the Ultra-Relativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (UrQMD) model for simulating hadron-hadron collisions at high energies.
