We explore the influence of in-medium nucleon-nucleon cross section, symmetry potential and impact parameter on isospin sensitive observables in intermediate-energy heavy-ion collisions with the ImQMD05 code, a modified version of Quantum Molecular Dynamics model. At incident velocities above the Fermi velocity, we find that the density dependence of symmetry potential plays a more important role on the double neutron to proton ratio $DR(n/p)$ and the isospin transport ratio $R_i$ than the in-medium nucleon-nucleon cross sections, provided that the latter are constrained to a fixed total NN collision rate. We also explore both $DR(n/p)$ and $R_i$ as a function of the impact parameter. Since the copious production of intermediate mass fragments is a distinguishing feature of intermediate-energy heavy-ion collisions, we examine the isospin transport ratios constructed from different groups of fragments. We find that the values of the isospin transport ratios for projectile rapidity fragments with $Zge20$ are greater than those constructed from the entire projectile rapidity source. We believe experimental investigations of this phenomenon can be performed. These may provide significant tests of fragmentation time scales predicted by ImQMD calculations.

The validity of impact parameter estimation from the multiplicity of charged particles at low-intermediate energies is checked within the framework of ImQMD model. The simulations show that the multiplicity of charged particles cannot estimate the impact parameter of heavy ion collisions very well, especially for central collisions at the beam energies lower than $sim$70 MeV/u due to the large fluctuations of the multiplicity of charged particles. The simulation results for the central collisions defined by the charged particle multiplicity are compared to those by using impact parameter b=2 fm and it shows that the charge distribution for $^{112}$Sn +$^{112}$Sn at 50 MeV/u is different evidently for two cases; and the chosen isospin sensitive observable, the coalescence invariant single neutron to proton yield ratio, reduces less than 15% for neutron-rich systems $^{124,132}$Sn +$^{124}$Sn at $E_{beam}$=50 MeV/u, while the coalescence invariant double neutron to proton yield ratio does not have obvious difference. The sensitivity of the chosen isospin sensitive observables to effective mass splitting is studied for central collisions defined by the multiplicity of charged particles. Our results show that the sensitivity is enhanced for $^{132}$Sn+$^{124}$Sn relative to that for $^{124}$Sn+$^{124}$Sn, and this reaction system should be measured in future experiments to study the effective mass splitting by heavy ion collisions.
The isospin splitting of the in-medium $NNrightarrow NDelta$ cross sections in asymmetric nuclear medium are investigated in the framework of the one-boson exchange model by including $delta$ and $rho$ mesons. Our results show that the that the correction factors $R=sigma_{ NNrightarrow NDelta}^*/sigma_{NNrightarrow NDelta}^{text{free}}$ have $R_{pp to nDelta ^{++}} < R_{nn to pDelta ^{-}}$ and $R_{NN to NDelta ^{+}} <R_{NN to NDelta ^{0}}$ by using the without-$delta$ sets. By including the $delta$ meson, it appears the totally opposite results in the $R$ for different channels, i.e., $R_{pp to nDelta ^{++}} > R_{nn to pDelta ^{-}}$ and $R_{NN to NDelta ^{+}} >R_{NN to NDelta ^{0}}$.
In this paper, the in-medium $NNrightarrow NDelta$ cross section is calculated in the framework of the one-boson exchange model by including the isovector mesons, i.e. $delta$ and $rho$ mesons. Due to the isospin exchange in the $NNrightarrow NDelta$ process, the vector self-energies of the outgoing particles are modified relative to the incoming particles in isospin asymmetric nuclear matter, and it leads to the effective energies of the incoming $NN$ pair being different from the outgoing $NDelta$ pair. This effect is investigated in the calculation of the in-medium $NNrightarrow NDelta$ cross section. With the corrected energy conservation, the cross sections of the $Delta^{++}$ and $Delta^+$ channels are suppressed, and the cross sections of the $Delta^0$ and $Delta^-$ channels are enhanced relative to the results obtained without properly considering the potential energy changes. Our results further confirm the dependence of medium correction factor, $R=sigma_{ NNrightarrow NDelta}^*/sigma_{NNrightarrow NDelta}^{text{free}}$, on the charge state of $NNrightarrow NDelta$ especially around the threshold energy, but the isospin splitting of medium correction factor $R$ becomes weak at high beam energies.
We investigate the reaction path followed by Heavy Ion Collisions with exotic nuclear beams at low energies. We will focus on the interplay between reaction mechanisms, fusion vs. break-up (fast-fission, deep-inelastic), that in exotic systems is expected to be influenced by the symmetry energy term at densities around the normal value. The evolution of the system is described by a Stochastic Mean Field transport equation (SMF), where two parametrizations for the density dependence of symmetry energy (Asysoft and Asystiff) are implemented, allowing one to explore the sensitivity of the results to this ingredient of the nuclear interaction. The method described here, based on the event by event evolution of phase space quadrupole collective modes will nicely allow to extract the fusion probability at relatively early times, when the transport results are reliable. Fusion probabilities for reactions induced by 132Sn on 64,58Ni targets at 10 AMeV are evaluated. We obtain larger fusion cross sections for the more n-rich composite system, and, for a given reaction, in the Asysoft choice. Finally a collective charge equilibration mechanism (the Dynamical Dipole) is revealed in both fusion and break-up events, depending on the stiffness of the symmetry term just below saturation.
Effects of in-medium cross-sections and of optical potential on pre-equilibrium emission and on formation of a thermal source are investigated by comparing the results of transport simulations with experimental results from the p+{197}Au reaction at 6.2-14.6 GeV/c. The employed transport model includes light composite-particle production and allows for inclusion of in-medium particle-particle cross-section reduction and of momentum dependence in the particle optical-potentials. Compared to the past, the model incorporates improved parameterizations of elementary high-energy processes. The simulations indicate that the majority of energy deposition occurs during the first ~25 fm/c of a reaction. This is followed by a pre-equilibrium emission and readjustment of system density and momentum distribution toward an equilibrated system. Good agreement with data, on the d/p and t/p yield ratios and on the residue mass and charge numbers, is obtained at the time of ~ 65 fm/c from the start of a reaction, provided reduced in-medium cross-sections and momentum-dependent optical potentials are employed in the simulations. By then, the pre-equilibrium nucleon and cluster emission, as well as mean-field readjustments, drive the system to a state of depleted average density, rho/rho_{0} ~ 1/4-1/3 for central collisions, and low-to-moderate excitation, i.e. the region of nuclear liquid-gas phase transition.
