From fusion to total disassembly: Global stopping in heavy-ion collisions

Abstract

Using the quantum molecular dynamics model, we aim to investigate the emission of light complex particles, and degree of stopping reached in heavy-ion collisions. We took incident energies between 50 and 1000 MeV/nucleon. In addition, central and peripheral collisions and different masses are also considered. We observe that the light complex particles act in almost similar manner as anisotropic ratio. In other words, multiplicity of light complex particles is an indicator of global stopping in heavy-ion collisions. We see that maximum light complex particles and stopping is obtained for heavier masses in central collisions.
