The nuclear symmetry energy characterizes the variation of the binding energy as the
neutron to proton ratio of a nuclear system is varied. This is one of the most important …

The ultimate goal of studying isospin physics via heavy-ion reactions with neutron-rich,
stable and/or radioactive nuclei is to explore the isospin dependence of in-medium nuclear …

A review is made of constraints on the nuclear symmetry energy parameters arising from
nuclear binding energy measurements, theoretical chiral effective field predictions of …

The symmetry energy contribution to the nuclear equation of state impacts various
phenomena in nuclear astrophysics, nuclear structure, and nuclear reactions. Its …

We construct three new Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) mass models, labeled HFB-19, HFB-
20, and HFB-21, with unconventional Skyrme forces containing t 4 and t 5 terms, ie, density …

Collisions involving Sn 112 and Sn 124 nuclei have been simulated with the improved
quantum molecular dynamics transport model. The results of the calculations reproduce …

Various kinds of isovector nucleon effective masses are used in the literature to characterize
the momentum/energy dependence of the nucleon symmetry potential or self-energy due to …

We describe a relation between the symmetry energy coefficients c sym (ρ) of nuclear matter
and a sym (A) of finite nuclei that accommodates other correlations of nuclear properties with …

Within an isospin-and momentum-dependent hadronic transport model, it is shown that the
recent FOPI data on the π-/π+ ratio in central heavy-ion collisions at SIS/GSI energies [Willy …

Transport simulations are very valuable for extracting physics information from heavy-ion-
collision experiments. With the emergence of many different transport codes in recent years …
