Light clusters production as a probe to nuclear symmetry energy
Light clusters production as a probe to nuclear symmetry energy
Using an isospin-dependent transport model for heavy-ion collisions induced by neutron-rich nuclei at intermediate energies, we study the production of light clusters such as deuteron, triton, and ${}^{3}\mathrm{He}$ via coalescence of nucleons. We find that both the yields and the energy spectra of these light clusters are affected significantly by …
