Phase transition amplification of proton number fluctuations in nuclear collisions from a transport model approach
Phase transition amplification of proton number fluctuations in nuclear collisions from a transport model approach
The time evolution of particle number fluctuations in nuclear collisions at intermediate energies (${E}_{\mathrm{lab}}=1.23\text{--}10A\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}\mathrm{GeV}$) is studied by means of the UrQMD-3.5 transport model. The transport description incorporates baryonic interactions through a density-dependent potential. This allows for an implementation of a first-order phase transition including a mechanically unstable region at large …
