Classical many-body model for heavy-ion collisions: (III). Ne-Ne and Ca-Ca calculations

Abstract

The classical many-body model, previously introduced, has been employed to perform numerical calculations of systems consisting of 20 on 20 and 40 on 40 nucleons. Comparison is made with the 800 A MeV data of Nagamiya, et al. Microscopic time development of the system and central compressions are displayed for Ca on Ca. Microscopic comparions with the fireball/firestreak models are presented; although qualitative agreement is found, interesting and expected shortcomings in the latter were seen. In particular, the classical many-body model exhibits shear viscosity and incomplete thermalization.
