摘要
To study the nuclear symmetry energy at supra-saturation densities, one generally considers that the observables probe the symmetry energy in the density region of maximal compression. Since the compression of nucleus-nucleus collision is a dynamical process, this point of view is not fully correct due to the effect of the symmetry energy at low densities. To answer which density region that some frequently used symmetry-energy-sensitive observables such as free n/p ratio or π?/π+ ratio probe, we made a study of decomposition of the sensitivity of these symmetryenergy- sensitive observables.
