The double neutron/proton ratio of nucleon emissions taken from two reaction systems using four isotopes of the same element, namely, the neutron/proton ratio in the neutron-rich system over that in the more symmetric system, has the advantage of reducing systematically the influence of the Coulomb force and the normally poor efficiencies of detecting low energy neutrons. The double ratio thus suffers less systematic errors. Within the IBUU04 transport model the double neutron/proton ratio is shown to have about the same sensitivity to the density dependence of nuclear symmetry energy as the single neutron/proton ratio in the neutron-rich system involved. The double neutron/proton ratio is therefore more useful for further constraining the symmetry energy of neutron-rich matter.

  1. Investigating the possibility of extracting neutron-skin thickness in nuclei by their collisions at intermediate energies

    In simulated intermediate-energy tin collisions, the free neutron-to-proton yield ratio is more sensitive to the symmetry potential than to the initial neutron-skin thickness in most kinematics.
