Abstract

The isoscaling properties of the primary and final products are studied via isospin dependent quantum molecular dynamics (IQMD) model and the followed sequential decay model GEMINI, respectively. It is found that the isoscaling parameters α\alpha of both primary and final products keep no significant change for light fragments, but increases with the mass for intermediate and heavy products. The dynamical effects on isoscaling are exhibited by that α\alpha value decreases a little with the evolution time of the system, and opposite trend for the heavy products. The secondary decay effects on isoscaling are reflected in the increasing of the α\alpha value for the final products which experiences secondary decay process. Furthermore the density dependence of the symmetry energy has also been explored, it is observed that in the low densities the symmetry energy coefficient has the form of Csym(ρ)C0(ρ/ρ0)γC_{sym}(\rho)\sim C_{0}(\rho/\rho_{0})^{\gamma}, where γ=0.71.3\gamma = 0.7 \sim 1.3 for both primary and final products, but C0C_{0} have different values for primary and final products. It is also suggested that it might be more reasonable to describe the density dependence of the symmetry energy coefficient by the Csym(ρ/ρ0)C1(ρ/ρ0)γsoft+C2(ρ/ρ0)γstiffC_{sym}(\rho/\rho_{0})\approx C_{1}(\rho/\rho_{0})^{\gamma_{soft}} + C_{2}(\rho/\rho_{0})^{\gamma_{stiff}} with γsoft1\gamma_{soft}\leq 1, γstiff1\gamma_{stiff}\geq 1 and C1,C2C_{1}, C_{2} constant parameters.
