Relative Contribution of Different Potentials in the Estimation of Directed Flow

Abstract

The present work deals with the theoretical study of directed flow in heavy ion collisions at intermediate energies. We present a complete systematic study of directed flow for asymmetric colliding nuclei for heavy ion reactions in the energy range between 60 ( ) and 140 by using hard equation of state. This study is performed within an isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics (IQMD) model. We envision an interesting outcome for asymmetric colliding nuclei. Also the effect of different potentials on heavy ion collisions has been studied.
