Role of momentum correlations in the properties of fragments produced in heavy-ion collisions

TL;DR

This paper investigates how momentum correlations influence the properties of fragments produced in heavy-ion collisions by applying momentum cuts during phase space clustering, revealing their significant impact.

Contribution

It introduces the analysis of momentum correlations' effects on fragment properties using momentum cuts, a novel approach in heavy-ion collision studies.

Findings

Momentum cuts significantly affect fragment properties.

Momentum correlations play a major role in fragment formation.

Phase space clustering is sensitive to momentum correlations.

Abstract

The role of momentum correlations is studied in the properties of light and medium mass fragments by imposing momentum cut in clustering the phase space. Our detailed investigation shows that momentum cut has major role to play in the properties of fragments.
