Abstract
We study the nuclear equation of state by simulating Nb+Nb heavy-ion collisions from 100 to 1000 MeV/nucleon and solving the Liouville equation with a classical interaction. Sensitivity to the nuclear equation of state is investigated by changing the short-range input nuclear force. A stiffer short-range potential is shown to result in greater transverse momentum transfer and collective flow angle. We provide a qualitative explanation of recent LBL/GSI plastic ball data, which show a saturation of the flow, in terms of the classical many-body model with internucleon potentialV(r=0) finite.
