On the density and temperature of neutron-rich systems at the energy of vanishing flow in heavy-ion collisions

Abstract

We study nuclear dynamics at the the energy of vanishing flow for neutron-rich systems. In particular, we shall study the collision rate, density and temperature reached in a heavy-ion reaction with neutron-rich systems. We shall also study the mass dependence of these quantities. Our results indicate nearly mass independent nature for the density reached whereas a significant mass dependence exists for the temperature of neutron-rich systems.
