Isospin Effects on the Transverse Momentum Spectra of Protons and Neutrons

Abstract

We present a theoretical study to see the effect of isospin degree of freedom and system size on the behavior of transverse momentum spectra, dN/p t dp t , of protons and neutrons. We find that most of the nucleons suffer soft collisions. In the Fermi energy region, transverse momentum spectra of both protons and neutrons show sensitivity towards the density dependence of symmetry energy.
