摘要
Collisions of heavy ions are means of heating and compressing nuclear matter beyond normal density.Properties of such matter are of interest in the context of supernova explosions,neutron star structure and neutron star mergers[1].These properties can also challenge many-body theory.Dynamics studied in the collisions expands upon the macroscopic features of nuclei in their ground states and excitations around ground states.With this,heavy-ion collisions have become an important focus area for a number of constructed nuclear accelerators,including High-Intensity Heavy Ion Accelerator Facility in Lanzhou[2],Facility for Rare Isotope Beams at my home institution[3]and other across the world.
