  24. Kaon Production: A good way to determine the symmetric EOS (C. Fuchs et al., PRL 86(01)1974) Main production mechanism: NNBYK pNYK • Also useful for Isovector EoS? • charge dependent thresholds • in-medium effective masses • Mean field effects

  28. Heaviest observed neutron star Flow constraint (Danielewicz, et al.) Maximum masses for boundaries of flow constraint Typical neutron stars Consistency of Heavy Ion Resuts with Neutron Star Data T.Klähn, D. Blaschke, S.Typel, E.v.Dalen, A.Faessler, C.Fuchs, T.Gaitanos, H. Grigorian, A.Ho, E.Kolomeitsev, M.Miller, G.Röpke, J.Trümper, D.Voskresensky, F.Weber, H.H.Wolter, Phys.Rev.C, to appear, nucl-th/0602038 Maximum masses and direct URCA cooling limit (see D.Blaschke,T. Klaehn) Lower boundary (LB) leads to too small NS masses! Flow constraint can be sharpened.

  29. Summary and Conclusions: • While the Eos of symmetric NM is fairly well determined, the isovector EoS is still rather uncertain (but important for exotic nuclei, neutron stars and supernovae) • Can be investigated in HIC both at low densities (Fermi energy regime, fragmentation) and high densities (relativistic collisions, flow, particle production) • Data to compare with are still relatively scarce; it appears that the Iso-EoS is rather stiff. • Effects scale with the asymmetry – thus reactions with RB are very important • Additional information can be obtained by cross comparison with neutron star observations
