Nuclear matter symmetry energy at0.03ρ/ρ00.2

Abstract: Measurements of the density dependence of the Free symmetry energy in low density clustered matter have been extended using the NIMROD multi-detector at Texas A&M University. Thermal coalescence models were employed to extract densities, ρ, and temperatures, T , for evolving systems formed in collisions of 47 A MeV 40 Ar + 112 Sn , 124 Sn and 64 Zn + 112 Sn , 124 Sn. Densities of 0.03 ≤ ρ/ρ0 ≤ 0.2 and temperatures in the range 5 to 10 MeV have been sampled. The Free symmetry energy coefficients are found to be… Show more

“…However, going to higher densities, medium effects, in particular the dissolution of bound states, must be included so that a smooth transition to the near-saturation density region is expected, where mean-field approaches can be applied. It has been shown in [118][119][120][121][122] that general expressions for the symmetry energy can be obtained which reproduce the results of experiments at low densities, determined by cluster formation, but agree with mean-field approaches at high densities. A cluster-virial approach may improve the description in the intermediate region.…”

“…The observation of light nuclei, which are emitted in Fermi-energy HICs, allows one to determine the density and temperature of warm dilute matter from experiments (Kowalski et al, 2007;Natowitz et al, 2010;Wada et al, 2012). The derived symmetry energies of the clustered matter indicate an increase as compared to those obtained in model calculations of uniform matter that is assumed to be composed solely of nucleons.…”

“…It is also an important ingredient in astrophysical calculations such as the evolution of protoneutron stars or the core collapse of a massive star and the associated explosive nucleosynthesis [50,51]. In the last years some progress has been achieved in heavy-ion collision experiments to extract the temperature dependence of F sym at low densities [52].…”
