Comprehensive study of memory loss for mass symmetric colliding nuclei at intermediate energy

Abstract

Detailed study of nuclear stopping for the energy ranging from 20 MeV/nucleon to 1000 MeV/nucleon is systematically carried out in this article. We aim to understand the role of nucleon–nucleon cross-sections, equation of state and width of Gaussian wave packet on memory loss of nucleons. It is observed that with increase in the energy more number of nucleons participate in the nuclear stopping and lose their memory. Finally, correlation among allowed collisions and memory loss have been explored.
