Probing the Equation of State of Neutron-Rich Matter with Heavy-Ion Reactions from Intermediate to Relativistic Energies

摘要

1. The EOS of n-rich matter, especially the E_(sym)(ρ) is very important for many interesting questions in both astrophysics and nuclear physics 2. Transport models are invaluable tools for studying the EOS of neutron-rich matter 3. Isospin transport experiments at intermediate energies allowed us to extract E_(sym)(ρ)=32 (ρ/ρ_0)~(1.1) for ρ < 1.2 ρ_0 and K_(asy)(ρ_0)～-550 MeV 4. High energy radioactive beams at RIA and FAIR/GSI will allow us to study the EOS of n-rich matter up to 3ρ_0 using several sensitive probes of the symmetry energy.
