动量相关作用对两体耗散同位旋效应的重要性

利用同位旋相关的量子分子动力学,研究了中能重离子碰撞中动量相关的状态方程对原子核阻止基于两体耗散的同位旋效应的影响.计算结果表明原子核阻止对同位旋相关和同位旋无关的核子–核子碰撞截面(两体耗散)的差值强烈地依赖于动量相关势,即在有动量相关势的情况下原子核阻止对同位旋相关和同位旋无关的核子–核子碰撞截面的差值大于没有动量相关势的情况.这就意味着动量相关作用明显地提高了原子核阻止对于核子–核子碰撞截面的灵敏性.因此,在考虑动量相关势的情况下,原子核阻止可以更准确地作为提取同位旋相关的核子–核子碰撞截面的一个探针.     

Application of microscopic transport model in the study of nuclear equation of state from heavy ion collisions at intermediate energies

The equation of state (EOS) of nuclear matter, i.e., the thermodynamic relationship between the binding energy per nucleon, temperature, density, as well as the isospin asymmetry, has been a hot topic in nuclear physics and astrophysics for a long time. The knowledge of the nuclear EOS is essential for studying the properties of nuclei, the structure of neutron stars, the dynamics of heavy ion collision (HIC), as well as neutron star mergers. HIC offers a unique way to create nuclear matter with high density and isospin asymmetry in terrestrial laboratory, but the formed dense nuclear matter exists only for a very short period, one cannot measure the nuclear EOS directly in experiments. Practically, transport models which often incorporate phenomenological potentials as an input are utilized to deduce the EOS from the comparison with the observables measured in laboratory. The ultrarelativistic quantum molecular dynamics (UrQMD) model has been widely employed for investigating HIC from the Fermi energy (40 MeV per nucleon) up to the CERN Large Hadron Collider energies (TeV). With further improvement in the nuclear mean-field potential term, the collision term, and the cluster recognition term of the UrQMD model, the newly measured collective flow and nuclear stopping data of light charged particles by the FOPI Collaboration can be reproduced. In this article we highlight our recent results on the studies of the nuclear EOS and the nuclear symmetry energy with the UrQMD model. New opportunities and challenges in the extraction of the nuclear EOS from transport models and HIC experiments are discussed.     

重离子碰撞中原子核阻止的同位旋效应

利用含有3种对称势形式的同位旋相关的量子分子动力学,研究了中能重离子碰撞中原子核阻止的同位旋效应和随入射道条件的系统演化过程.计算结果表明,原子核阻止灵敏地依赖束流能量、碰撞参数、碰撞系统的质量和核子–核子碰撞截面的同位旋相关性,而3种对称势和碰撞系统的中质比对它的影响不很明显,但在大约费米能量以下能区,原子核阻止同时依赖于介质中核子–核子碰撞截面和对称势.故认为在费米能量以上能区直至150MeV/u,原子核阻止是提取介质中核子–核子碰撞截面的一个新的物理观测量.     

中能重离子碰撞过程中同位旋分馏的特征和机制

利用同位旋依赖的QMD模型主要对中能重离子碰撞中同位旋分馏机制和主要特征进行了讨论和分析， 得到了一些有趣的结果， 并建议将同位旋分馏强度作为提取同位旋相关平均场和建立同位旋不对称核物质状态方程的探针. The degree of isospin fractionation is measured by (N/Z)gas / (N/Z)liq，where (N/Z)gas and (N/Z)liq are the saturated neutron proton ratio of nucleon emissions ( gas phase) and that of fragment emitted (liquid phase) in heavy ion collision at intermediate energy. The calculated results by using the isospin dependent quantum molecular dynamics model show that the degree of isospin fractionation is sensitive to the neutron proton ratio of colliding system. In particular， the degree of isospin fractionation sensitively depends on the symmetry potential and weakly on the in medium nucleon nucleon cross section for the neutron rich system. In this case， we propose that the degree of isospin fractionation can be directly compared with the experimental data so that the information about symmetry potential can be obtained.     

同位旋和动量依赖的相互作用在重离子碰撞中的同位旋效应

引入同位旋自由度将同位旋无关的动量相关作用改造成同位旋和动量依赖的相互作用. 利用同位旋依赖的量子分子动力学理论研究了同位旋和动量依赖的相互作用对中能重离子碰撞中动量耗散和同位旋分馏的作用. 计算结果表明动量相关作用具有重要的同位旋效应，尽管它没有明显的改变原子核阻止(动量耗散)对于两体碰撞截面和同位旋分馏强度对于对称势的灵敏依赖性，但它对于以上两种灵敏性产生了明显的减弱作用. 故动量相关作用中同位旋效应研究对于定量的研究和确定同位旋非对称核物质状态方程是重要的.     

Neutron–proton elliptic flow difference as a probe for the high density dependence of the symmetry energy

We employ an isospin dependent version of the QMD transport model to study the influence of the isospin dependent part of the nuclear matter equation of state and in-medium nucleon–nucleon cross-sections on the dynamics of heavy-ion collisions at intermediate energies. We find that the extraction of useful information on the isospin-dependent part of the equation of state of nuclear matter from proton or neutron elliptic flows is obstructed by their sensitivity to model parameters and in-medium values of nucleon–nucleon cross-sections. Opposite to that, neutron–proton elliptic flow difference shows little dependence on those variables while its dependence on the isospin asymmetric EoS is enhanced, making it more suitable for a model independent constraining of the high-density behaviour of asy-EoS. Comparison with existing experimental FOPI-LAND neutron–hydrogen data can be used to set an upper limit to the softness of asy-EoS. Successful constraining of the asy-EoS via neutron–proton elliptic flow difference will require experimental data of higher accuracy than presently available.

利用同位旋相关的量子分子动力学研究和寻找提取中能重离子碰撞多重碎裂中同位旋相关核子–核子碰撞截面的可能观测量.计算结果表明,在多重碎裂过程中中等质量碎片多重性与带电粒子总数之间的关联是在所选能区提取介质中同位旋相关核子–核子碰撞截面的灵敏观察量.应用重质量弹核打轻质量靶核具有反应产物向前角发射这一逆反应效应,可以在有限探测器条件下与实验相结合提取介质中同位旋相关的核子–核子碰撞截面.     

动量相关作用对同位旋相关平均场的重要性

利用同位旋相关的量子分子动力学,通过原子核阻止研究了中能重离子碰撞中动量相关作用对于同位旋相关的平均场(对称势)的重要性.计算结果表明动量相关作用同时加强了原子核阻止对于对称势和核子–核子碰撞截面同位旋效应的灵敏性.但相对而言核子–核子碰撞截面对于原子核阻止的作用远大于对称势对于它的作用,等价于动量相关作用提高了原子核阻止对于核子–核子碰撞截面同位旋效应的灵敏性,而减弱了原子核阻止对于对称势的灵敏性.这样就把原子核阻止作为提取同位旋相关的核子–核子碰撞截面的一个探针.

中能重离子碰撞中库仑相互作用对动量耗散的同位旋效应

利用同位旋相关的量子分子动力学模型，研究了中能重离子碰撞过程中的库仑相互作用对于 动量耗散的同位旋效应.计算结果表明: 由于库仑相互作用的存在，使得碰撞过程中的化学 不稳定区和力学不稳定区减小，明显地减弱了动量耗散；其减弱的程度与对称势的形式及强 度有关，对称势越强则动量耗散的减弱幅度越大.动量耗散灵敏地依赖于核子-核子碰撞截 面的同位旋相关性而较弱地依赖于对称势，这一特征不论有无库仑相互作用均存在. 关键词： 中能重离子碰撞 库仑相互作用 动量耗散 同位旋效应     

α发射数可作为提取同位旋相关平均场的灵敏探针

利用同位旋相关的量子分子动力学, 对中能重离子碰撞过程中的α发射数的同位旋效应进行了分析。 研究表明, α发射数强烈地依赖于同位旋相关平均场的影响, 而与同位旋相关核子 核子碰撞截面的依赖较弱, 可以作为提取同位旋相关平均场信息的灵敏探针。 由于实验上α粒子发射数的观测比较容易, 而且在很宽地能量范围内, 无论丰中子系统还是缺中子系统都较好地满足上述规律, 这样就可以通过实验上对α发射数的探测, 来提取介质中同位旋相关平均场的信息。 同时建议由实验对缺中子系统的质子发射数进行探测, 从中提取同位旋相关核子 核子碰撞截面的信息。 The α emissions in heavy ion collisions at intermediate energies are studied by using isospin dependent quantum molecular dynamics model. The number of α emitted is found to be strongly dependent on the isospin dependent mean field and weakly on the nucleon nucleon cross sections. The number of α emitted is easy to be measured in experiment and the above conclusion is still available no matter in neutron rich systems or in neutron deficient systems in a wide energy region, so it can be used as an excellent probe for extracting information of the isospin dependent mean field. After several years searching, some information of the isospin asymmetry equation of state has been obtained in theoretically. We suggest to investigate the number of α emitted in neutron rich systems and the number of proton emitted in neutron deficient systems experimentally to obtain more information of the isospin dependent mean field and the isospin dependent nucleon nucleon cross section.     

从晕中子核引起核反应中提取对称势

利用同位旋相关量子分子动力学理论研究了中子晕核引起核反应机制中重要的同位旋效应以提取对称势. 因为同位旋相关量子分子动力学理论中的相互作用和介质中核子-核子碰撞截面都灵敏地依赖于碰撞系统的密度分布, 本项研究工作基于中子晕核扩展的密度分布. 该密度分布包含了反应机制中同位旋效应和疏散内部结构的平均特征. 为了弄清楚晕核引起核反应机制的同位旋效应, 在完全相同的入射道条件下, 比较了由中子晕核炮弹引起的同位旋效应和由相等质量的稳定核炮弹引起同位旋效应. 结果发现中子晕核炮弹引起的发射中子-质子比和同位旋分馏比明显大于相等质量稳定弹核产生的结果. 因而可以通过理论结果与实验数据的系统比较提取对称势.

Effects of relativistic kinematics in heavy ion elastic scattering

Relativistic corrections to the reaction kinematic parameters were made for elastic scattering of ⁶Li, ¹²C and ⁴⁰Ar from ⁴⁰Ca, ⁹⁰Zr and ²⁰⁸Pb targets at incident energies between 20 and 100 MeV/nucleon. The results of optical model calculations show that the effects of such corrections are important when describing the angular distributions of elastic scattering cross sections for heavy ion scattering at incident energies as low as around 40 MeV/nucleon. The effects on the total reaction cross sections on the other hand, were found to be small within the energy range studied when the optical model potential is fixed.     

In-Medium Kaon Potential and Nuclear Equation of State Measured in Nucleus–Nucleus Collisions

The kaon production in heavy ion collisions at intermediate energies provides a sensitive probe to study the in-medium properties and nuclear equation of state of hadrons. Properties of kaons in dense hadronic matter are important for a better understanding of both, the possible restoration of chiral symmetry in dense hadronic matter and the properties of nuclear matter at high densities. We investigated the in-medium kaon potential and nuclear equation of state by transverse mass spectra of K ⁺ mesons in heavy ion collisions. We use quantum molecular dynamics (QMD) models based on covariant kaon dynamics to simulate ${_{28}^{58}Ni +_{28}^{58}Ni}$ collisions at 1.93 A GeV, to analyze the transverse mass spectra of K ⁺. Calculated results with a repulsive in-medium K ⁺N potential can reasonably describe the features of KaoS data. They also shown that the transverse mass spectrum of K ⁺ mesons is a sensitive observable to probe the kaon in-medium potential in dense nuclear matter.     

中子晕核引起核反应中的同位旋效应

利用同位旋相关的量子分子动力学(IQMD)对中子晕核，⁸He和¹⁰He引起核反应中重要的同位旋效应和松散的中子晕结构影响的平均特征进行了研究.因为IQMD中的互作用势和介质中核子-核子碰撞截面灵敏地依赖于碰撞系统的密度分布.而扩展的中子晕密度分布包含了中子晕核的同位旋效应和松散的中子晕结构的平均特征，从而将这些信息通过动力学碰撞带入到反应机理中. 为了清楚地鉴别中子晕核带入反应机理重要的同位旋效应和松散中子晕结构的影响，通过比较中子晕核和相等质量稳定弹核在相同入射道条件下，所得物理观测量之间的差别加以确定.计算结果确实发现具有初始晕核信息的中子扩展密度分布将重要的同位旋效应和松散中子晕结构带入到各种物理观测量中.例如与相等质量稳定相比，中子晕核的晕特征引起了原子核阻止的降低；并明显地增加了核子发射中子-质子比和同位旋分馏比. 关键词： 中子晕核 原子核阻止 核子发射中子-质子比 同位旋分馏比     

Fragment distribution in ~(78,86)Kr+~(181)Ta reactions

Within the framework of the isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics model, along with the GEMINI model, the ~(86)Kr+~(181)Ta reaction at 80, 120 and 160 MeV/nucleon and the ~(78)Kr+~(181)Ta reaction at 160 MeV/nucleon are studied, and the production cross sections of the generated fragments are calculated. More intermediate and large mass fragments can be produced in the reactions with a large range of impact parameter. The production cross sections of nuclei such as the isotopes of Si and P generally decrease with increasing incident energy.Isotopes near the neutron drip line are produced more in the neutron-rich system ~(86)Kr+~(181)Ta.     

Nuclear stopping as a probe for in-medium nucleon-nucleon cross sections in intermediate energy heavy ion collisions

Using an isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics, nuclear stopping in intermediate heavy ion collisions has been studied. The calculation has been done for colliding systems with different neutron-proton ratios in beam energy ranging from 15 MeV/ u to 150 MeV/ u. It is found that, in the energy region from above Fermi energy to 150 MeV/ u, nuclear stopping is very sensitive to the isospin dependence of in-medium nucleon-nucleon cross section, but insensitive to symmetry potential. From this investigation, we propose that nuclear stopping can be used as a new probe to extract the information on the isospin dependence of in-medium nucleon-nucleon cross section in intermediate energy heavy ion collisions.     

中能重离子碰撞中同位旋分馏的同位旋效应

基于改进的同位旋相关量子分子动力学模型,研究了中能重离子碰撞中同位旋分馏强度(N/Z)_气(N/Z)_液随着碰撞系统中子–质子比和碰撞参数的变化所呈现出的同位旋效应,得到了一些有兴趣的结果.如在碰撞系统质量、入射能量和碰撞参数固定的条件下,(N/Z)_气(N/Z)_液随碰撞系统中子–质子比的增加而增加.对于丰中子系统而言,(N/Z)_气(N/Z)_液灵敏地依赖于对称势而较弱地依赖于核子–核子碰撞截面;而缺中子系统,(N/Z)_气(N/Z)_液对于对称势和介质中核子–核子碰撞截面都不灵敏.对于造成这种现象的物理机制进行了分析和讨论.一般核反应中,碰撞参数是各种物理观测量的灵敏函数,但计算结果表明同位旋分馏强度对于碰撞参数并不灵敏,故对于丰中子系统而言,同位旋分馏强度是提取对称势知识的灵敏物理观测量.
