Effects of the momentum dependence of nuclear symmetry potential on pion observables in Sn+Sn collisions at 270 MeV/nucleon

Within a transport model,we investigated the effects of the momentum dependence of the nuclear symmetry potential on the pion observables in central Sn+Sn collisions at 270 MeV/nucleon.To this end,the quantity U^(∞)_(sym)(ρ_(0))(i.e.,the value of the nuclear symmetry potential at the saturation densityρ_(0) and infinitely large nucleon momentum)was used to characterize the momentum dependence of the nuclear symmetry potential.With a certain L(i.e.,the slope of the nuclear symmetry energy at(ρ_(0))),the characteristic parameter U^(∞)_(sym)(ρ_(0))of the symmetry potential significantly affects the production of−and+and their pion ratios.Moreover,by comparing the charged pion yields,pion ratios,and spectral pion ratios of the theoretical simulations for the reactions ^(108) Sn+^(112) Sn and ^(132)Sn+^(124)Sn with the corresponding data in the SRIT experiments,we found that our results favor a constraint on U^(∞)_(sym)(ρ_(0))(i.e.,−160_(−9)^(+18) MeV),and L is also suggested within a range of 62.7 MeV<L<93.1 MeV.In addition,the pion observable for^(197)Au+^(197)Au collisions at 400 MeV/nucleon also supports the extracted value for U^(∞)_(sym)(ρ_(0)).

Isospin- and momentum-dependent interaction in isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics

An isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamical model （IQMD） is developed, with the isospin degree of freedom in the momentum-dependent interaction（MDI） included in IQMD, to obtain an isospin- and momentum-dependent interaction （IMDI） in IQMD. We investigate the effect of IMDI on the isospin fractionation ratio and its dynamical mechanism in the intermediate energy heavy ion collisions. It is found that the IMDI induces the significant reductions in the isospin fractionation ratio for all of beam energies, impact parameters, neutron-proton ratios and mass number of colliding systems. However, the strong dependence of isospin fractionation ratio on the symmetrical potential is preserved, with the isospin degree of freedom included in the MDI, i.e. the isospin fractionation ratio is still a good probe for extracting the information about the equation of state of isospin asymmetrical nuclear matter.

Single-particle space-momentum angle distribution effect on two-pion HBT correlation with Coulomb interaction

We calculate the HBT radius R_(S) for π^(+)with Coulomb interaction using the string melting version of a multiphase transport(AMPT)model.We study the relationship between the single-particle space-momentum angle and the particle sources and discuss HBT radii without single-particle space-momentum correlation.Additionally,we study the Coulomb interaction effect on the numerical connection between the single-particle space-momentum angle distribution and the transverse momentum dependence of R_(S).

The effect of single-particle space-momentum angle distribution on two-pion HBT correlation in relativistic heavy-ion collisions using a multiphase transport model

Using the string melting version of a multiphase transport(AMPT)model,we analyze the transverse momentum dependence of the HBT radius R_(s) and the single-pion angle distribution on the transverse plane in central Au+Au collisions at■,and 200 GeV.Additionally,a numerical connection between these two phenomena is established with a series of functions.We can estimate the single-pion angle distribution on the transverse plane from HBT analysis.

Three-dimensional imaging of the nucleon and semi-inclusive high-energy reactions

We present a short overview of studies of the transverse-momentum-dependent parton distribution functions of the nucleon. The aim of such studies is to provide three-dimensional imaging of the nucleon and a comprehensive description of semi-inclusive high-energy reactions. By summarizing what we have done in constructing the theoretical framework for inclusive deep inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering and one-dimensional imaging of the nucleon, we try to sketch out an outline of what we need to do to construct such a comprehensive theoretical framework for semi-inclusive processes in terms of three-dimensional gauge-invariant patton distributions. Next, we present an overview of what we have already achieved, with an emphasis on the theoretical framework for semi-inclusive reactions in leading-order perturbative quantum chromodynamics but with leading and higher twist contributions. We summarize in particular the results for the differential cross section and azimuthal spin asymmetries in terms of the gauge-invariant transverse-momentum-dependent parton distribution functions. We also briefly summarize the available experimental results on semi-inclusive reactions and the parameterizations of transverse-momentum-dependent parton distributions extracted from them and present an outlook for future studies.

Reinvestigation of the high spin states in ^(161)Er and enhanced E1 transitions in the N=93 isotones

High-spin states in 161Er have been studied experimentally using the 150Nd（16O, 5n） reaction at a beam energy of 86 MeV. The relatively enhanced E1 transitions between the 5/2＋[642] and 3/2-[521] bands are observed in 161Er, and the B（E1） values are extracted experimentally. The systematics of the R（E1） values in the N = 93 isotones are presented. It is found that the strength of the E1 transitions obviously exhibits angular momentum dependence, and the occurrence of the relatively enhanced E1 transitions could be attributed to octupole softness.

Electron-ion collider in China

Lepton scattering is an established ideal tool for studying inner structure of small particles such as nucleons as well as nuclei.As a future high energy nuclear physics project,an Electron-ion collider in China(EicC)has been proposed.It will be constructed based on an upgraded heavy-ion accelerator,High Intensity heavy-ion Accelerator Facility(HIAF)which is currently under construction,together with a new electron ring.The proposed collider will provide highly polarized electrons(with a po-larization of 80%)and protons(with a polarization of 70%)with variable center of mass energies from 15 to 20 GeV and the luminosity of(2–3)×1033 cm^(−2)·s^(−1).Polarized deuterons and Helium-3,as well as unpolarized ion beams from Carbon to Uranium,will be also available at the EicC.The main foci of the EicC will be precision measurements of the structure of the nucleon in the sea quark region,including 3D tomography of nucleon;the partonic structure of nuclei and the parton interaction with the nuclear environment;the exotic states,especially those with heavy flavor quark contents.In addition,issues fundamental to understanding the origin of mass could be addressed by measurements of heavy quarkonia near-threshold production at the EicC.In order to achieve the above-mentioned physics goals,a hermetical detector system will be constructed with cutting-edge technologies.This document is the result of collective contributions and valuable inputs from experts across the globe.The EicC physics program complements the ongoing scientific programs at the Jefferson Laboratory and the future EIC project in the United States.The success of this project will also advance both nuclear and particle physics as well as accelerator and detector technology in China.

Isospin splitting of nucleon effective mass and symmetry energy in isotopic nuclear reactions

Within an isospin and momentum dependent transport model, the dynamics of isospin particles（nucleons and light clusters） in Fermi-energy heavy-ion collisions are investigated for constraining the isospin splitting of nucleon effective mass and the symmetry energy at subsaturation densities. The impacts of the isoscalar and isovector parts of the momentum dependent interaction on the emissions of isospin particles are explored, i.e., the mass splittings of m_n^＊=m_p^＊ and m_n^＊〉 m_p^＊（m_n^＊〈 m_p^＊）. The single and double neutron to proton ratios of free nucleons and light particles are thoroughly investigated in the isotopic nuclear reactions of ^112Sn＋^112Sn and ^124Sn＋^124Sn at incident energies of 50 and 120 MeV/nucleon, respectively. It is found that both the effective mass splitting and symmetry energy impact the kinetic energy spectra of the single ratios, in particular at the high energy tail（larger than 20 Me V）. The isospin splitting of nucleon effective mass slightly impacts the double ratio spectra at the energy of 50 MeV/nucleon. A soft symmetry energy with stiffness coefficient of γ_s =0.5 is constrained from the experimental data with the Fermi-energy heavy-ion collisions.
