The dynamical ingredients governing the multifragmentation process and collision dynamics in heavy ion collisions

By simulating numerically the reaction dynamics of heavy ion collisions within the modified quantum molecular dynamics (MQMD), we have studied the influences of the nucleon-nucleon (n-n) collision cross section with and without medium effect, momentum dependent interactions (MDI), equation of state (EOS) and the aggregating method of fragments on the multifragmentation process of heavy ion collisions with different beam energies. It is found that multifragmentation patterns of the final fragment distributions, the collective flows of fragments and single particles, collision number and nuclear matter density depend strongly on then-n cross section and momentum dependent interactions and the nuclear equation of state, especially these dependences are associated with beam energies. But the fragment multiplicity distribution patterns depend very weakly on the equation of state.
