Sensitivity of Transverse Flow and Its Disappearance Towards Density-dependent Cross-section

Abstract

We study the relative role of density-dependent reduction and constant reduction of the cross-section on the mass dependence of balance energy throughout the mass range for two isobaric series corresponding to different neutron to proton contents using isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics model. Our study indicates that mass-dependent analysis of balance energy for semi-central collisions is almost insensitive to the choice of reduction in the cross-section. This insensitivity remains preserved for static as well as momentum-dependent soft equation of state.
