Nuclear Stopping from0.09Ato1.93AGeVand Its Correlation to Flow

Abstract: We present a complete systematics (excitation functions and system-size dependences) of global stopping and side flow for heavy ion reactions in the energy range between 0.09A and 1.93A GeV. For the heaviest system, Au+Au, we observe a plateau of maximal stopping extending from about 0.2A to 0.8A GeV with a fast drop on both sides. The degree of stopping, which is shown to remain significantly below the expectations of a full stopping scenario, is found to be highly correlated to the amount of side flow.

“…/y proj , where y proj is the projectile rapidity. A good parameter for evaluating the stopping power of the collision is the vartl quantity, that is, the ratio between the variances of the transverse and longitudinal rapidity distributions, as suggested by the FOPI collaboration [25][26][27]. In our calculation we get values around 0.75, not much different at the two beam energies, comparable to data although no experimental filter is included.…”

“…We can use this interpretation to understand the system mass-dependence of the energy of transition from ∆ = 1 /2 to ∆ = 1 scaling presented in [53] Radial expansion in central heavy-ion collisions occurs after significant compression of the incoming nuclear fluid, and as such depends not only on static nuclear matter properties such as incompressibility, but also on transport properties such as the degree of stopping achieved in the collision [78]. The latter increases with the mass of the colliding nuclei, as shown in [79] Conclusions We have shown that, for finite systems, the largest cluster size distribution in critical aggregation models is an admixture of the two asymptotic distributions observed far below and above the critical region.…”
