The Average Lifetime of Giant Composite Systems Formed in Strongly Damped Collisions

The dynamic, adiabatic and diabat ic entrance potentials in strongly damped reactions of ^238 U＋^238 U, ^232 Th ＋ ^250Cf are calculated and compared. The feature of the dynamical potential implies that it is possible for the composite systems to stick together for a period of time. By means of the improved quantum molecular dynamics model the time evolution of the density and charge distributions of giant composite systems and their fragments for reactions ^238U＋^238U, ^232Th＋^250Cf are investigated, from which the lifetimes of giant composite systems at different energies are obtained. The longest average lifetime of ^238U＋^238U is found when the incident energy is about Ec.m =1080 MeW, which is about 1200 fm/c.     

Effects of Surface Emitting and Cumulative Collisions on Elliptic Flow

The integral and differential elliptic flow of partons is calculated using the multiphase transport model for Au＋Au collisions at centre-of-mass energy √SNN=200 GeV. It is shown that elliptic flow of partons freezing out at early time, which is affected mainly by surface emittance, decreases with time and elliptic flow of partons freezing out at late time, which is dominated by cumulative collisions, increases with time. The elliptic flow of partons freezing out early has a large contribution to the flatting of curve of final differential elliptic flow at large transverse momentum. It is argued that the effect of surface emittance is not neglectable.     

Modified Woods-Saxon Potential for Heavy-Ion Fusion Reaction

A modified Woods-Saxon （MWS） potential is proposed for describing nucleus-nucleus interaction based on the Skyrme energy-density functional approach. Fusion barriers for a large number of fusion reactions from light to heavy systems can be described well with this potential. The suitable incident energies for fusion reactions leading to superheavy nuclei are also explored. It seems to us that the MWS potential is useful for selecting the suitable incident energies for fusion reactions for producing super-heavy nuclei.     

Entrance-Channel Dependence of Isospin Effects on Double n/p Ratio in HIC

Within the hadronic transport model IBUU04, we investigate the effect of density-dependent symmetry energy on double neutron/proton (n/p) ratio of free nucleons in heavy ion collisions by taking four isotopic Sn+Sn reaction systems. Especially the entrance-channel asymmetry and impact-parameter dependence of the effect of symmetry energy are discussed. It is found that in both central and semi-central collisions the sensitivity of the double n/p ratio to the density-dependent symmetry energy is more pronounced in neutron-richer systems. Our results also indicate clearly that the effect of symmetry energy is stronger in central collisions than that in semi-central collisions.     

Isoscaling in Statistical Sequential Decay Model

A sequential decay model is used to study isoscaling, i.e. the factorization of the isotope ratios from sources of different isospins and sizes over a broad range of excitation energies, into fugacity terms of proton and neutron number, R21（N, Z） = Y2（ N, Z）/Y1（ N, Z） = Cexp（αN -βZ）. It is found that the isoscaling parameters α and β have a strong dependence on the isospin difference of equilibrated source and excitation energy, no significant influence of the source size on α andβ has been observed. It is found that α and β decrease with the excitation energy and are linear functions of 1/T and △（Z/A）2 or△（N/A）2 of the sources. Symmetry energy coefticient Gsym is constrained from the relationship of a and source △（Z/A）2, /3 and source △（N/A）2.     

Isospin effects on squeeze-out flow in heavy-ion collisions

The squeeze-out flow in reactions of ¹²⁴Sn + ¹²⁴Sn and ¹²⁴Ba + ¹²⁴Ba at different incident energies for different impact parameters is investigated by means of an isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics model. For the first time, it is found that the more neutron-rich system (¹²⁴Sn + ¹²⁴Sn) exhibits weaker squeeze-out flow. This isospin dependence of the squeeze-out flow is shown to mainly result from the isospin dependence of nucleon-nucleon cross-section and the symmetry energy.

Eccentricity Scaling of Elliptic Flow in Relativistic Au+Au Collisions

Elliptic flow for Au＋Au non-central collisions at √SNN = 200 GeV is investigated within a （2＋ 1）-dimensiona＇l hydrodynamic model. The results show that the eccentricity scaling for the collisions is almost perfect. The evolution including the phase transition conforms to the demand of scaling invariance of hydrodynamics of the collision system.     

Phenomenological Scaling of Rapidity Dependence for Anisotropic Flows in 25 MeV/nucleon Ca＋Ca by Quantum Molecular Dynamics Model

Anisotropic flows （v1, v2, v3 and v4） of light fragments up to the mass number 4 as a function of rapidity are studied for 25 MeV/nucleon ^40Ca ＋ ^40Ca at large impact parameters by a quantum molecular dynamics model. A phenomenological scaling behaviour of rapidity dependent flow parameters vn （n = 1, 2, 3 and 4） is found as a function of mass number plus a constant term, which may arise from the interplay of collective and random motions. In addition, v4/v2^2 keeps to be almost independent of rapidity and remains a rough constant of 1/2 for all light fragments.     

Differential Directed Flow of K+ Meson within Covariant Kaon Dynamics

The collective flow of positive charged kaons in heavy ion reactions at SIS energy is investigated within the frame of covariant kann dynamics. The theoretical results calculated by using quantum molecular dynamics show that the rapidity distribution of K^＋ mesons is more sensitive to the nuclear equation of state than the differential directed flow. The contribution of various K^＋ production reaction channels to the rapidity distribution of the K^＋ is also analysed in detail. The results indicate that the rapidity distribution of K^＋ mesons is mainly from the contribution of the N-△ and N-N channel. This means that the delta resonance state plays a predominantly important role for the K^＋ subthreshold production.     

Entrance channel mass asymmetry dependence of compound nucleus formation

The fusion reactions ⁴⁸Ca + ¹⁵⁴Sm and ¹⁶O + ¹⁸⁶W leading to the same compound nucleus ²⁰²Pb are studied within the framework of an improved isospin dependent quantum molecular dynamics model. The entrance channel mass asymmetry dependence of compound nucleus formation is found by analyzing the shell correction energies, Coulomb barriers and fusion cross sections. The calculated fusion cross sections agree quantitatively with the experimental data. We conclude that the compound nucleus formation is favorable for the system with larger mass asymmetry.     

Possible Mechanisms of Ternary Fission in the 197Au+197Au System at 15 A MeV

Ternary fission in ^197Au＋^197Au collisions at 15 A MeV is investigated by using the improved quantum molecular dynamical （ImQMD） model. The experimental mass distributions for each of the three fragments are reproduced for the first time without any freely adjusting parameters. The mechanisms of ternary fission in central and semicentral collisions are dynamically studied. In direct prolate ternary fission, two necks are found to be formed almost simultaneously and rupture sequentially in a very short time interval. Direct oblate ternary fission is a very rare fission event, in which three necks are formed and rupture simultaneously, forming three equally sized fragments along space-symmetric directions in the reaction plane. In sequential ternary fission a binary division is followed by another binary fission event after hundreds of fm/c.     

Probing Balance Energy Using Momentum- and Isospin-Dependent Potential

Using the momentum- and isospin-dependent Boltmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck （BUU） model, we investigate the transverse flow and balance energy in two isotopic colliding systems ^48Ca＋^58Fe and ^48Cr＋^58Ni by adopting different symmetry potentials. By comparing the results between the two colliding systems, we find that the difference between the balance energies of two isotopic systems can be considered as a sensitive probe to the density dependence of symmetry energy.

Isospin flows

In this report, we review the isospin dependence of various forms of the collective flow in heavy-ion reactions from Fermi to relativistic energies. The emphasis will be on suggested possible applications in directly exploring the underlying isovector potential and thus the Equation of State (EoS) of asymmetric nuclear matter, in particular in density regions far away from normal conditions. We also discuss forthcoming challenges and opportunities provided by high-energy radioactive beams.     

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.

Nuclear Hexadecapole Deformation Effects on the Production of Super-Heavy Elements

We investigate the effects of the nuclear hexadecapole deformations on the interaction potentials between nuclei, the driving potentials and the fusion probabilities for some cold fusion reactions leading to super-heavy elements. It is found that nuclear hexadecapole deformations change significantly the structure of the driving potentials and the fusion probabilities for some reaction channels.     

Isospin Effects on Anisotropic Flows in Intermediate Energy Heavy Ion Collisions

Anisotropic flows per nucleon （v1/A, v2/A, v3/A and v4/A） of light fragments up to the mass number 4 as a function of transverse momentum per nucleon are studied for 55 Me V/nucleon 58Fe＋58Fe and 58 Ni＋ 58 Ni at large impact parameters by the isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics model. The effects of symmetry energy and nucleon-nucleon cross sections, which are both isospin-dependent on anisotropic flows, are studied in detail. In comparison of the two systems with or without symmetry potential term, the results show that the strength of flows is sensitive to symmetry potential and nucleon-nucleon cross sections, which mainly cause a repulsion effect in this energy region.     

Nuclear stopping and compression in heavy-ion collisions at intermediate energies

The nuclear stopping and the radial flow are investigated with an isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics (IQMD) model for Ni + Ni and Pb + Pb from 0.4 to and 1.2 GeV/u. The expansion velocity as well as the degree of nuclear stopping are higher in the heavier system at all energies. The ratio between the flow energy and the total available energy in center of mass of the colliding systems exhibits a positive correlation to the degree of nuclear stopping. The maximum density (ρmax${\rho }_{\max }$) achieved in the compression is comparable to the hydrodynamics prediction only if the non-zero collision time effect is taken into account in the later. Due to the partial transparency, the growing of the maximum density achieved in the central region of the fireball with the increase of beam energy becomes gradually flat in the 1 GeV/u energy regime.     

中能重离子碰撞中的同位旋分馏过程

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中同位旋分馏过程.研究结果表明自由粒子中质比与碎片中质比的比值即同位旋分馏强度灵敏地依赖于对称势,而对同位旋相关核子–核子碰撞截面的依赖很弱.同位旋分馏对对称势的灵敏主要来自于气相部分,而液相部分对对称势不够灵敏.气相部分灵敏地依赖于对称势是直接造成同位旋分馏强度对对称势灵敏的主要原因.同时还讨论了各种液相部分的取法,其结果表明不同取法对以上结论的影响不大.因此理论结果与实验数据可以直接比较从而提取对称势的知识.并对引发同位旋分馏的动力学的起因进行了分析和讨论.
