Summary: | Abstract
By incorporating an isospin-dependent form of the momentum-dependent potential in the ultra-relativistic quantum molecular dynamics (UrQMD) model, we systematically investigate effects of the neutron-proton effective mass splitting
=
and the density-dependent nuclear symmetry energy
on the elliptic flow
in

collisions at beam energies from 0.09 to 1.5 GeV/nucleon. It is found that at higher beam energies (
0.25 GeV
nucleon) with the approximately 75 MeV difference in slopes of the two different
, and the variation of
ranging from –0.03 to 0.03 at saturation density with isospin asymmetry
, the
has a stronger influence on the difference in
between neutrons and protons, i.e.,
, than
has. Meanwhile, at lower beam energies (
0.25 GeV
nucleon),
is sensitive to both the
and the
. Moreover, the influence of
on
is more evident with the parameters of this study when using the soft, rather than stiff, symmetry energy. |
