Heavy-ion collision dynamics: Correlation with elliptic flow and nuclear stopping

Abstract

A comprehensive interpretation regarding the collision dynamics in heavy-ion collisions, using isospin dependent quantum molecular dynamics model (IQMD) has been conducted. Our study serves as a baseline for the collision dynamics and its correlation with elliptic flow and nuclear stopping. In the physical interpretation of nucleus–nucleus collisions, ‘centrality’ of the collisions, play significant role. Elliptic flow and nuclear stopping shows strong correlation with the number of nucleons participating in collision dynamics.
