The shear viscosity (η) and entropy density (s) are studied for the central Au+Au collisions with the help of a microscopic transport model,namely the isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamic model (IQMD).Employ the formula given in Ref.[1],η is calculated as a time dependent variable for different incident energies from 40 MeV/u to 120 MeV/u and the energy dependence of η/s of nuclear matter in the most compressed stage in collision process is displayed.
The particle spectra and Hanbury-Brown Twiss (HBT) radius of Au+Au collisions at RHIC energy are investigated by a hydrodynamical expanding source with both shear and bulk viscosities (ζ).With a large width of the ratio of ζ to entropy density s,both the particle transverse momentum spectra and the ratio Rout/Rside of HBT radii in the direction of the total transverse momentum of detected two particles (Rout) and perpendicular to both this direction and the beam direction (Rside) become a little steeper.
Hard photon emitted from energetic heavy ion collisions is of very interesting since it does not experience the late-stage nuclear interaction, therefore it is useful to explore the early-stage information of matter phase. In this work, we have calculated the impact parameter and beam energy dependence for azimuthal asymmetry, characterized by directed transverse flow parameter F and elliptic asymmetry coeffcient v2, of direct photons and the corresponding free protons in intermediate energy heavy-ion collisions. It is further shown the anti-correlated azimuthal asymmetry between direct photons and free protons.
The correlation between neutron-to-proton yield ratio (Rnp) and neutron skin thickness (δnp) in neutron-rich projectile induced reactions is investigated within the framework of the Isospin-Dependent Quantum Molecular Dynamics (IQMD) model. The density distribution of the Droplet model is embedded in the initialization of the neutron and proton densities in the present IQMD model. By adjusting the diffuseness parameter of neutron density in the Droplet model for the projectile, the relationship between the neutron skin thickness and the corresponding Rnp is obtained. The results show strong linear correlation between Rnp and δnp for neutron-rich Ca and Ni isotopes. It is suggested that Rnp may be used as an experimental observable to extract δnp for neutron-rich nuclei, which is very interesting in the study of the nuclear structure of exotic nuclei, the equation of state (EOS) of asymmetric nuclear matter and neutron-rich matter in astrophysics, etc.
High-energy heavy-ion collisions produce abundant hyperons and nucleons.A dynamical coalescence model coupled with the ART model is employed to study the production probabilities of light clusters,deuteron (d),triton (t),helion (3 He),and hypertriton (3 Λ H) at subthreshold energy of Λ production (≈1 GeV per nucleon).We study the dependence on the reaction system size of the coalescence penalty factor per additional nucleon and entropy per nucleon.The Strangeness Population Factor(S 3=3 Λ H/(3 He×Λ/p)) shows an extra suppression of hypertriton comparing to light clusters of the same mass number.This model predicts a hypertriton production cross-section of a few μb in 36 Ar+36 Ar,40 Ca+40 Ca and 56 Ni+56 Ni in 1 A GeV reactions.The production rate is as high as a few hypertritons per million collisions,which shows that the fixed-target heavy-ion collisions at CSR (Lanzhou/China) at Λ subthreshold energy are suitable for breaking new ground in hypernuclear physics.
Using an isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics (IQMD) model, we study the 15C induced reactions from 30-120 MeV/nucleon systematically. Here the valence neutron of 15C is assigned at both 1d5/2 and 2s1/2 states respectively in order to study the density effect of reaction mechanism. It is believed that the existent neutron halo structure at the 2s1/2 state of 15C will affect the light particle emission evidently. In our calculation, the different density distributions of 15C at two states are calculated by relativistic mean field (RMF) model and introduced in the initiation of IQMD model, respectively. It is found that some observables such as emission fragmentation multiplicity, emission neutron/proton ratio and emission neutrons' kinetic energy spectrum are sensitive to the initial density distribution.
Production and properties of φ-meson under the extreme hot dense matter which is formed in Au + Au collisions at RHIC energy have been briefly reviewed.The issues are focused on transverse momentum (p T ) spectra of φ,elliptic flow of φ,nuclear modification factor of φ,the ratio of Ω(p T )/φ(p T ) versus p T,the ratio of Ω(p T /3)/φ(p T /2) versus p T /n q,spin alignment of φ and the enhancement of φ etc.These observables give the significant information of the strange quark dynamics in hot dense matter under the extreme condition.
