The finite nuclear thickness affects the energy density $\epsilon(t)$ and conserved-charge densities such as the net-baryon density $n_B(t)$ produced in heavy ion collisions. While the effect is small at high collision energies where the…
We clarified that the fusion hindrance in heavy ion collisions is caused by the expansion of the neck bridge at the early stage of collision [Phys. Rev. C 108, 014612 (2023)]; however, our discussion was limited to the trajectory analysis.…
We suggest a new Bayesian analysis (BA) using disjunct M-R constraints for extracting probability measures for cold, dense matter equations of state (EoS). One of the key issues of such an analysis is the question of a deconfinement…
