On the participant-spectator matter and thermalization of neutron-rich systems in heavy-ion collisions

TL;DR

This paper investigates participant-spectator matter and thermalization in neutron-rich heavy-ion collisions at the energy of vanishing flow, revealing mass-independent behavior and similarities with stable systems.

Contribution

It provides new insights into the behavior of neutron-rich systems, showing mass independence and comparable participant-spectator dynamics to stable systems at the energy of vanishing flow.

Findings

Participant-spectator matter behaves similarly in neutron-rich and stable systems.

Participant-spectator matter shows nearly mass-independent behavior.

Reactions reach a certain level of thermalization.

Abstract

We study the participant-spectator matter at the energy of vanishing flow for neutron-rich systems. Our study reveals similar behaviour of articipant-spectator for neutron-rich systems as for stable systems and also points towards nearly mass independence behaviour of participant-spectator matter for neutron-rich systems at the energy of vanishing flow. We also study the thermalization reached in the reactions of neutron-rich systems.
