Production of deuterium, tritium, and ³He in central Pb+Pb collisions at 20A, 30A, 40A, 80A, and 158A GeV at the CERN SPS
read the original abstract
Production of $d$, $t$, and $^3$He nuclei in central Pb+Pb interactions was studied at five collision energies ($\sqrt{s_{NN}}=$ 6.3, 7.6, 8.8, 12.3, and 17.3 GeV) with the NA49 detector at the CERN SPS. Transverse momentum spectra, rapidity distributions, and particle ratios were measured. Yields are compared to predictions of statistical models. Phase-space distributions of light nuclei are discussed and compared to those of protons in the context of a coalescence approach. The coalescence parameters $B_2$ and $B_3$, as well as coalescence radii for $d$ and $^3$He were determined as a function of transverse mass at all energies.

Systematic study of flow of protons and light clusters in intermediate-energy heavy-ion collisions with momentum-dependent potentials
PHQMD simulations with momentum-dependent potentials show that a soft momentum-dependent EoS calibrated to pA data reproduces experimental proton and cluster flows at midrapidity better than static EoS variants, while...
