报告摘要：Recently we have updated the AMPT model with new PDFs in nuclei,
 including the CTEQ6.1M parton distribution functions for the free
 nucleon and the EPS09s spatial-dependent nuclear shadowing functions. 
 Motivated by saturation physics, we have introduced a nuclear scaling
 of the minijet cutoff scale p0 to describe the overall multiplicities
 in central AA collisions at high energies.
 We have also improved heavy flavor productions in the AMPT model,
 where, from the comparison with the open charm world data for pp
 collisions, we find that the minijet cutoff p0 cannot be applied to
 heavy flavors. Therefore the nuclear scaling of p0 is more consistent
 with final-state saturation models such as EKRT rather than
 initial-state saturation models such as CGC.
 The string melting version of the updated AMPT model can describe
 light flavor productions at low pT in pp collisions and high energy AA
 collisions. In addition, it describes the open charm data much better
 than before. This thus lays the foundation for simultaneous studies of
 heavy flavors and light flavors within the AMPT transport approach.
