Abstract
By considering different values of the time-step for the potential updates in the ultra-relativistic quantum molecular dynamics (UrQMD) model, we examine its influence on observables, such as the yield and collective flow of nucleons and pions from heavyion collisions around 1 GeV/nucleon. It is found that these observables are affected to some extent by the choice of the time-step, and the impact of the time-step on the pion-related observables is more visible than that on the nucleon-related ones. However, its effect on the π −/π + yield ratio and elliptic flow difference between neutrons and protons, which have been taken as sensitive observables for probing the density-dependent nuclear symmetry energy at high densities, is fairly weak.
