Neutron–Proton Dynamics and Pion Production in Heavy-ion Collisions by the AMD+JAM Approach

EXTRACTION OF ΛΛ SCATTERING LENGTH

We determine ΛΛ scattering parameters from a ΛΛ invariant mass spectrum that was obtained by 12 C (K-, K+ΛΛ) reaction at the KEK Proton Synchrotron. In the framework of Watson's procedure, the obtained scattering length [Formula: see text] and effective range [Formula: see text] are most consistent with the values predicted by using the Nijmegen soft core models (NSC97's). However, the predicted values by using the Nijmegen hard-core ND ( G -matrix) and the extended soft-core (ESC00) models are out of two standard deviations from the determined scattering parameters.

Effects of Pauli blocking on pion production in central collisions of neutron-rich nuclei

Pauli blocking is carefully investigated for the processes of $NN \rightarrow N \Delta$ and $\Delta \rightarrow N \pi$ in heavy-ion collisions, aiming at a more precise prediction of the $\pi^-/ \pi^+$ ratio which is an important observable to constrain the high-density symmetry energy. We use the AMD+JAM approach, which combines the antisymmetrized molecular dynamics for the time evolution of nucleons and the JAM model to treat processes for $\Delta$ resonances and pions. As is known in general transport-code simulations, it is difficult to treat Pauli blocking very precisely due to unphysical fluctuations and additional smearing of the phase-space distribution function, when Pauli blockin…
