Determining the Density Dependence of the Nuclear Symmetry Energy Using Heavy-ion Reactions
نویسنده
چکیده
We review recent progress in the determination of the subsaturation density behavior of the nuclear symmetry energy from heavy-ion collisions as well as the theoretical progress in probing the high density behavior of the symmetry energy in heavy-ion reactions induced by high energy radioactive beams. We further discuss the implications of these results for the nuclear effective interactions and the neutron skin thickness of heavy nuclei.

Progress Towards Determining the Density Dependence of the Nuclear Symmetry Energy Using Heavy-Ion Reactions
The latest development in determining the density dependence of the nuclear symmetry energy using heavy-ion collisions is reviewed. Within the IBUU04 version of an isospinand momentum-dependent transport model using a modified Gogny effective interaction, recent experimental data from NSCL/MSU on isospin diffusion are found to be consistent with a nuclear symmetry energy of Esym(ρ) ≈ 31.6(ρ/ρ0)...
متن کاملSoft nuclear equations of state for super-massive neutron star
Two new nuclear equations of state (EOSs) are proposed and are applied to neutron star (NS). They predict the incompressibilitiesK0 = 179MeV and 230MeV, respectively. The density dependencies of nuclear symmetry energies are consistent with the recent analyses of heavy-ion reactions. We can reproduce the recently observed super-massive NS of MG > 2:5M , the mass-radius relation of EXO 0748-676 ...
متن کاملESF Exploratory Workshop on How to Constrain the High Density Symmetry Energy
The behaviour of the nuclear medium as a function of density is of fundamental importance to both nuclear physics and astrophysics, in particular for the supernova explosion dynamics and the neutron star properties [1-4]. It is usually referred to as a (nuclear) equation of state (EOS). Despite of decades of theoretical and experimental efforts concentrated on resolving the EOS of (isospin) sym...
متن کاملModeling Magnetic Field in Heavy ion Collisions Using Two Different Nuclear Charge Density Distributions
By studying the properties of matter during heavy-ion collisions, a better understanding of the Quark-Gluon plasma is possible. One of the main areas of this study is the calculation of the magnetic field, particularly how the values of conductivity affects this field and how the field strength changes with proper time. In matching the theoretical calculations with results obtained in lab, two diffe...
متن کاملSemiclassical simulations of peripheral heavy-ion collisions at Fermi Energies and the sensitivity to the density dependence of the nuclear symmetry energy
During the last several years we have undertaken a systematic study of heavy residues formed in quasi-elastic and deep-inelastic collisions near and below the Fermi energy. The original motivation of these studies was the understanding and the optimization of the production of very neutron-rich rare isotopes in these collisions [1,2,3]. In parallel, we became motivated to pursue these studies f...
