Temperature and symmetry energy of neutron-rich fragments in the 1A GeV^(124,136)Xe+Pb reactions

In this work we study the symmetry-energy coefficient of neutron-rich nuclei,and the temperature dependence of nuclear symmetry energy at low temperatures.An isobaric method is used to extract the symmetry-energy coefficients of neutron-rich nucleus(asym) at zero temperature(T) and asym/T at nonzero temperature in the measured 1A GeV124,136Xe+Pb reactions.T of fragment is obtained from the ratio of its asym to asym/T.The results show that,for fragment with the same neutron-excess(I=N Z),the heavier the fragment is,the higher T it has,and T tends to saturate around 1 MeV for the large mass fragments.It is also shown that the more neutron-rich the isobar is,the higher temperature it has.The T2dependence of symmetry energy of finite nucleus at low temperatures is verified by the extracted results.

In this work we study the symmetry-energy coefficient of neutron-rich nuclei, and the temperature dependence of nuclear symmetry energy at low temperatures. An isobaric method is used to extract the symmetry-energy coefficients of neutron-rich nucleus （asm） at zero temperature （T） and asym/T at nonzero temperature in the measured 1A GeV 124＇136Xe＋Pb reactions. T of fragment is obtained from the ratio of its asym to asym/T. The results show that, for fragment with the same neutron-excess （I=N-Z）, the heavier the fragment is, the higher T it has, and T tends to saturate around 1 MeV for the large mass fragments. It is also shown that the more neutron-rich the isobar is, the higher temperature it has. The T2 dependence of symmetry energy of finite nucleus at low temperatures is verified by the extracted results.
