Numerical simulation of medium energy heavy ion reactions
Abstract
Reactions between heavy ions at medium energy are calculated using the Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck equation. This equation incorporates the effects of a mean field as well as Pauli blocking of the nucleon-nucleon collisions. The numerical solution for two light systems, $^{16}$O${+\mathrm{}}^{12}$C at 25back20A MeV bombarding energy and $^{12}$C${+\mathrm{}}^{12}$C at 84back20A MeV bombarding energy, is presented and discussed in detail. In the absence of nucleon-nucleon collisions, the theory reduces to classical mean-field physics and agrees well with the quantal time-dependent Hartree-Fock theory. With collisions, the system is driven toward equilibrium even at the lower bombarding energy. The final state nucleon distribution is compared to single-particle spectra and is found to agree quite well in shape.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
