Probing nucleon effective mass splitting with light particle emission

The main objective of this study was to investigate the impact of effective mass splitting on heavy-ion-collision observables.We first analyzed correlations between different nuclear matter parameters obtained from 119 effective Skyrme interaction sets.The values of the correlation coefficients illustrate that the magnitude of effective mass splitting is crucial for tight constraints on the symmetry energy via heavy-ion collisions.The^(86)Kr+^(208)Pb system at beam energies ranging from 25 to 200A MeV was simulated within the framework of the improved quantum molecular dynamics model(ImQMD-Sky).Our calculations show that the slopes of the spectra of ln[Y(n)/Y(p)]and ln[Y(t)/Y(^(3)He)],which are the logarithms of the neutron to proton and triton to helium-3 yield ratios,are directly related to effective mass splitting and can be used to probe the effective mass splitting.

Modified Woods-Saxon Potential for Heavy-Ion Fusion Reaction

A modified Woods-Saxon （MWS） potential is proposed for describing nucleus-nucleus interaction based on the Skyrme energy-density functional approach. Fusion barriers for a large number of fusion reactions from light to heavy systems can be described well with this potential. The suitable incident energies for fusion reactions leading to superheavy nuclei are also explored. It seems to us that the MWS potential is useful for selecting the suitable incident energies for fusion reactions for producing super-heavy nuclei.

Tensor force effect on single-proton energy levels of oxygen isotopes

In the framework of the Hartree-Fock approach the proton spin-orbital splittings of the 1p orbits and the shell gaps in the oxygen isotopes are investigated with the interactions SLy5+T,SLy5+Tw,SGII+Te1,SGII+Te2,SGII+Te3 and many sets of the TIJ interactions.All of the interactions are the Skyrme interactions and contain a tensor component(tensor force).It is shown that the evolution of the single-proton levels for the oxygen isotopes is sensitive to a parameterβTwhich is associated with the tensor force strength of the Skyrme interactions.To understand this phenomenon,we systematically analyze the dependence of the spin-orbit splittings and shell gaps on the parameterβTin terms of the spin-orbit potential and the corresponding wave function.We find that the Skyrme interactions can be classified into two groups:(a)T21,T32,T43,T54,SLy5+T,SLy5+Tw,SGII+Te1 and SGII+Te2,which can roughly reproduce the experimental shell gaps of the oxygen isotopes;(b)T1J and SGII+Te3,which can not reproduce the experimental shell gaps.
