Oral Presentation Constraints from heavy-ion collisions at intermediate energies Constraints from heavy-ion collisions at intermediate energies

Speaker

Andrea Jedele (TU-Darmstadt)

Description

Previous studies at the Cyclotron Institute at Texas A&M University have experimentally shown that neutron-proton equilibration in heavy-ion collisions evolves exponentially [1,2]. The two heaviest fragments originating from the dynamically deformed, excited projectile-like fragment evolve to become more similar as its angle of rotation increases. Results were compared to Constrained Molecular Dynamics and Anti-symmetrized Molecular Dynamics simulations varying the density dependences of the asymmetry energy term of the nuclear equation of state. The results indicate better agreement with a softer interaction.
