Transverse in-plane flow: a new probe of symmetry energy in Fermi energy region

TL;DR

This paper investigates how transverse in-plane flow in nuclear reactions at Fermi energies can serve as a sensitive probe for the density dependence of nuclear symmetry energy, providing insights into nuclear matter properties.

Contribution

It introduces the use of transverse flow as a new observable to probe the density dependence of symmetry energy in the Fermi energy region.

Findings

Transverse flow is sensitive to different density dependencies of symmetry energy.

The study discusses the mechanism behind this sensitivity.

Results suggest transverse flow can effectively probe symmetry energy variations.

Abstract

We study the sensitivity of transverse flow towards the different density dependence of symmetry energy in Fermi energy region. Our results show that transverse flow shows sensitivity to different density dependence of symmetry energy. The mechanism for sensitivity towards different density dependence of symmetry energy is also discussed.
