In this study, based on the newly updated version of the ultrarelativistic quantum molecular dynamics model, we introduce the kaon-nucleon(KN) potential, including both the scalar and vector(also dubbed Lorentz-like)aspects. We revisit the influence of the KN potential on the collective flow of K+mesons produced in Au+Au collisions at Elab= 1.5 Ge V/nucleon and find that the contribution of the newly included Lorentz-like force is very important, particulary for describing the directed flow of K+. Finally, the corresponding Kao S data of both directed and elliptic flows can be simultaneously reproduced well.展开更多

It is found that these observables are affected to some extent by the choice of the time-step,and the impact of the time-step on the pion-related observables is more visible than that on the nucleon-related ones. However,its effect on the π-/π+yield ratio and elliptic flow difference between neutrons and protons, which have been taken as sensitive observables for probing the density-dependent nuclear symmetry energy at high densities, is fairly weak.展开更多

In the coalescence process, the relative distance R0 and relative momentum P0 are surveyed in the range of 3-4 fm and 0.25-0.35 GeV/c, respectively. For both clusters, a strong reversed correlation between R0 and Po is seen and it is time-dependent as well. For protons, the accepted (R0, P0) bands lie in the time interval 30-60 fm/c, while for 3He, a longer time evolution (at about 60-90 fm/c) is needed. Otherwise, much smaller R0 and P0 values should be chosen. If we further look at the rapidity distributions from both central and semi-central collisions, it is found that the accepted [tout, (R0, P0)] assemble can provide consistent results for proton yield and collective flows especially at mid-rapdities, while for 3He, the consistency is destroyed at both middle and projectile-target rapidities.展开更多
