  1. The Symmetry Energy at Supersaturation Densities from Heavy Ion Collisions Hermann Wolter University of Munich, Germany Compact Stars in the QCD Phase Diagram IV, Prerow, Germany, Sept. 26-30, 2014

  2. Outline: 1. Nuclear Symmetry Energy and ist uncertainities 2. Investigation in heavy ion collisions: low density <~0: (multi)fragmentation, isospin transport supersaturation density >0: flow, particle emission and production 3. Status of knowledge of symmetry energy Implication for compact stars Acknowledgement to my collaborators: M. Colonna, M. Di Toro, V. Greco (Lab. Naz. del Sud, INFN, Catania) T. Gaitanos (U. Giessen  U. Thessaloniki, Greece) D. Blaschke, T. Klähn (U. Wroclav), G. Röpke (U. Rostock), S.Typel (GSI)

  3. Quark-hadron coexistence 1 Supernovae IIa neutron stars 0 Z/N Isospin degree of freedom Our general aim in Heavy Ion Reactions: The Phase Diagram of Strongly Interacting Matter heavy ion collisions (HIC) Caveat: HIC trajectories are non-equilibrium processes, and are not in the plane of the diagram  transport theory is necessary SIS18 Liquid-gas coexistence FAIR, NICA

  4. neutron matter EOS Symmetry energy: neutron - symm matter, rather unknown, e.g. Skyrme-like param.,B.A.Li EOS of symmetric nuclear matter asy-stiff stiff asy-soft soft Parametrizations around 0 :  Esympot() often parametrized as saturation point Fairly well fixed!

  6. Different proton/neutron effective masses m*n < m*p Isovector (Lane) potential: momentum dependence m*n > m*p data Microscopic many-body calculations for the symmetry energy: Marcello Baldo, NuSYM14 Low density symmetry energy behave similarly and are consistent with analyses from nuclear structure and HIC. However, at high densities large differences. -- 3-body forces? (Baldo); scaling with density? -- short range tensor force (cut-off rc) and in-medium  mass scaling SE ist also momentum dependent  effective mass

  7. Heavy Ion Collisions pictorially: different behavior by varying system, asymmetry, incident energy, centrality, etc. examples: Collision at relativistic energies of ~600 MeV/A to several GeV/A: Compression to several times saturation density, non-spherical momentum distributions („flow“), particle production (pions, strangeness (kaons),etc.) (GSI, FAIR, NICA,HIAF) Collisions at Fermi energies in nuclei, about 35 to several hundred MeV/A: Moderate compression, multifragmentation, phase transitions of the liquid-gas type (NSCL, GANIL, Texas A&M, HIRFL, RIKEN, future FRIB) non-equlibrium also in dense phase transport description

  8. T T T T QPA Transport equations Boltzmann-Ühling-Uhlenbeck (BUU) Can be derived:  Classically from the Liouville theorem collision term added  Semiclassically from THDF (and fluctuations)  From non-equilibrium theory (Kadanoff-Baym) collision term included mean field and in-medium cross sections consistent, e.g. from BHF Spectral fcts, off-shell transport, quasi-particle approx. Transport theory is on a well defined footing, in principle

  9. Dynamical Interpretations of Low Energy Heavy Ion Collisions central Coulomb barrier to Fermi energies peripheral Isospin migration Isospin fractionation, multifragmentation deep-inelastic pre-equil. light particles pre-equil. dipole N/Z of PLF residue = isospin diffusion N/Z ratio of IMF‘s N/Z of neck fragment and velocity correlations Information on symmetry energy for densities of below to about 20% above . not discuss here

  10. Constraints on the Symmetry Energy from HIC in the range 50-200 AMeV C.J.Horowitz, et al., „A way forward in the study of the symmetry energy: experiment, theory, observations“, arxiv 1401.5839, J. Phys. G: Nucl. Part. Phys. 41 (2014) 093001

  11. -- e.g. SE that fit nuclear masses cross below saturation density, (some average densitiy of a finite nucleus) -- induces a correlation between value and slope at  within the model., eg. in lin. approx. Correlations between model parameters, e.g. --different observables are sensitive to different densities (or ranges of densities) and thus induce different correlations -- crossing point will hopefully fix S and L, which are independent -- Represents an extrapolation using a model with different density dependences in some cases a wide extrapolation, eg. for neutron star J. Lattimer, A.W.Steiner, Eur. Phys. J. A (2014) 50: 40

Many new potentials, elastic and inelastic cross sections needed, dynamics in medium What can one learn from different species? • pions: production at all stages of the evolution via the -resonace • kaons (strange mesons with high mass): subthreshold production, probe of high density phase • ratios of and K0/K+: probe for symmetry energy

  18. in-medium threshold effect in-medium  production Possible reasons: dynamics, medium effects: potentials, effetive cross sections, spectral fcts (C.M. Ko)  Spectral function transport theory of particles with finite width, „off-shell“ transport, see Mosel (GiBUU) and Cassing (HSE) groups not systematically investigated

  20. Strangeness production in HIC: Kaons Au+Au, 1 AGeV, central 132Sn+124Sn 132Sn+124Sn Inclusive multiplicities G.Ferini et al.,PRL 97 (2006) 202301 Small effect for ‘s Comparision to FOPI data: Double ratio (Ru+Ru)/(Zr+Zr) calculations Data (Fopi) X. Lopez, et al., PRC 75 (2007) infinite system (box) finite nucleus G. Ferini, et al., NPA762(2005) 147 Kaons were a decisive observable to determine the symmetric EOS; perhaps also useful for SE? Kaons are closer to threshold, come only from high density, K0 and K+ have large mean free path, small width: Larger (or equally large) effect for kaons, which come directly from high density region Single ratios are more sensitive! more detailed analysis (Ferini, et al.,) Competing effects of asystiffness on  and K0/K+ ratios from mean field (asystiff larger) and threshold (asystiff smaller)

Fischer, M.Hempel, et al., EPJA50(14)46 mass-radius relation neutron matter EoS T. Fischer, M.Hempel, et al., EPJA50(14)46 Present constraints on the symmetry energy - Moving towards a determination of the symmetry energy from HIC - Large uncertainties at higher density - Conflicting conclusions for pion observables need to be clarified - kaon observables promising - Work in experiment and theory necessary! S() [MeV]

  23. Summary and Outlook: 1. Transport approaches are essential to obtain information on the equation of state of nuclear matter in the laboratory. but also open problems: - role of fluctuations and correlations - consistency of different implementations - treatment of particles with finite width (off-shell transport) 2. Constraints on the nuclear symmetry energy from HIC: - around and below saturation energy they are converging and are consistent with theory - at high densities the situation is less satisfactory and more work experimentally and theoretically is necessary 3. Consequences for Compact stars Thank you!
