Using BHF-derived in-medium cross sections in the IBUU transport model, the paper shows that nuclear stopping and differential flow are sensitive to scattering-amplitude, density-of-states, and total-momentum effects, while n/p and transverse-flow-difference probes remain robust.

abstract
The double neutron-proton differential transverse flowtaken from two reaction systems using different isotopes of the same element is studied at incident beam energies of 400 and 800 MeV/nucleon within the framework of an isospin- and momentum-dependent hadronic transport model IBUU04. The double differential flow is found to retain about the same sensitivity to the density dependence of the nuclear symmetry energy as the single differential flow in the more neutron-rich reaction. Because the double differential flow reduces significantly both the systematic errors and the influence of the Coulomb force, it is thus more effective probe for the high-density behavior of the nuclear symmetry energy.

In-medium effects of nucleon-nucleon cross sections in heavy-ion collisions
Using BHF-derived in-medium cross sections in the IBUU transport model, the paper shows that nuclear stopping and differential flow are sensitive to scattering-amplitude, density-of-states, and total-momentum effects, while n/p and transverse-flow-difference probes remain robust.
