Recent progress and new challenges in isospin physics with heavy-ion reactions

BA Li, LW Chen, CM Ko - Physics Reports, 2008 - Elsevier
The ultimate goal of studying isospin physics via heavy-ion reactions with neutron-rich,
stable and/or radioactive nuclei is to explore the isospin dependence of in-medium nuclear …

Reaction dynamics with exotic nuclei

V Baran, M Colonna, V Greco, M Di Toro - Physics Reports, 2005 - Elsevier
We review the new possibilities offered by the reaction dynamics of asymmetric heavy-ion
collisions, using stable and unstable beams. We show that it represents a rather unique tool …

Equation of state of asymmetric nuclear matter and collisions of neutron-rich nuclei

BA Li, CM Ko, Z Ren - Physical review letters, 1997 - APS
The ratio of pre-equilibrium neutrons to protons from collisions of neutron-rich nuclei is
studied as a function of their kinetic energies. This ratio is found to be sensitive to the density …

Neutron-proton differential flow as a probe of isospin-dependence of the nuclear equation of state

BA Li - Physical Review Letters, 2000 - APS
The neutron-proton differential flow is shown to be a very useful probe of the isospin-
dependence of the nuclear equation of state (EOS). This novel approach utilizes …

Flow systematics from SIS to SPS energies

JY Ollitrault - Nuclear Physics A, 1998 - Elsevier
The various flow phenomena observed at energies between 50 AMeV and 160 AGeV are
reviewed. I first define three types of flow: directed flow and clliptic flow, which are the two …

Using the isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics model we study the isospin
effects on the disappearance of flow for the reactions of 58 Ni+ 58 Ni and 58 Fe+ 58 Fe as a …

High density behaviour of nuclear symmetry energy and high energy heavy-ion collisions

BA Li - Nuclear Physics A, 2002 - Elsevier
High energy heavy-ion collisions are proposed as a novel means to obtain information
about the high density (HD) behaviour of nuclear symmetry energy. Within an isospin …

Within the framework of an isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics model in which
the initial neutron and proton densities are sampled according to the densities calculated …

Mass dependence of disappearance of transverse in-plane flow

AD Sood, RK Puri - Physical Review C—Nuclear Physics, 2004 - APS
A theoretical study is presented for the disappearance of flow by analyzing a large number
of reactions with masses between 47 and 476 units. We demonstrate that the effect of …
