Influence of Symmetry Energy on Fragment Production

Abstract

The present work deals with the theoretical study dealing with influence of density dependence of symmetry energy on multifragmentation and in heavy ion collision at intermediate energies. We present a complete systematic theoretical study of multifragmentation for mass symmetric colliding nuclei for heavy-ion reactions in the energy range between 50 MeV/nucleon and 1000 MeV/nucleon by using soft equations of state using isospin dependent quantum molecular dynamics (IQMD) model. We envision an interesting outcome for symmetric colliding nuclei small but clear signature influence of density dependence of symmetry energy on fragmentation can be seen. The effect of isospin dependent and constant cross section also has been studied.
