The ratio of pre-equilibrium neutrons to protons from collisions of neutron-rich nuclei is studied as a function of their kinetic energies. This ratio is found to be sensitive to the density dependence of the nuclear symmetry energy, but is independent of the compressibility of symmetric nuclear matter and the in-medium nucleon-nucleon cross sections. The experimental measurement of this ratio thus provides a novel means for determining the nuclear equation of state of asymmetric nuclear matter.

  1. Directly probing existence of $\alpha$-cluster structure in $^{20}$Ne by relativistic heavy-ion collisions

    nucl-th 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In simulations of 20Ne+20Ne collisions, the scaled yield ratio of spectator neutrons to charged spectator nuclei is reduced by 20 to 25 percent when 20Ne has alpha-cluster structure, providing a proposed direct probe.
