  1. Response of the Spectators to the Participants Blast as a Probe of the Momentum-Dependent Nuclear Mean FieldV. HENZLa, M. V. Ricciardia, T. Enqvista,[1], J. Pereirab, J. Benlliureb, M. Bernasc, E. Casarejosb,, A. Kelića, J. Taïebc,[2], K.-H. Schmidta,aGSI, Planckstr. 1, 64291, Darmstadt, Germany,bUniversity of Santiago de Compostela, 15706 Santiago de Compostela, Spain,cInstitut de Physique Nucléaire, 91406 Orsay Cedex, France[1] Present address: University of Jyväskylä, 40351 Jyväskylä, Finland, [2] Present address: CEA/Saclay DM2S/SERMA/LENR, 91191 Gif/Yvette CEDEX, France General motivation Experiment at the Fragment Separator Inverse kinematics: Fundamental questions: • how does the nuclear matter „look like“?, how does it behave ? ... Astrophysical interest: From ToF:  /∆ ≈ 400 • evolution of the early universe • supernovae explosions • formation and stability of neutron stars A/∆A ≈ 400 (36m) influenced by properties of the NM under extreme conditions (high T, P, ρ) Once mass and charge are identified (A, Z are integer numbers) the velocity is calculated from B => veryprecise determination! Properties of the NM:  /∆ = B/∆B≈ 2000 • static – (in)compressibility, phase transitions, excitation… • dynamic – viscosity, momentum dependence of the mean field… +unambiguous identification and precise longitudinal momenta + full acceptance of most of the fragments Present knowledge Recent analysis: (Danielewicz et al.) - Only one fragment in one reaction measured, no correlations, no multiplicity - Low acceptance for light and fission fragments(~10%) Possible values of the nuclear incompressibility constrained by the experiments. Velocity distributions of fragmentation residues 238U+Pb @ 1 AGeV 238U+Ti @ 1 AGeV T.Enqvist et al.

The results are very often ambiguous !!! Information on reaction mechanism !!! Tools to investigate the nuclear matter What can we learn from the spectator response? Theoretical calculations for 4 different EoS:(Shi, Danielewicz, Lacey) Experiment:(Enqvist and Ricciardi et al.)) (Fission events excluded !!!) BUU calculations : 124Sn +124Sn Tlab= 800 MeV/u b = 5 fm L. Shi, P. Danielewicz, R. Lacey, PRC 64 (2001) Standard tools: elliptic flow, sideward flow, transverse momentum, kaon production, … ! New ! ! New ! Spectator response: the spectator is not a passive witness, but rather a victim of violent participants ! Spectator response selectively reflects the MD properties of the nuclear MF !!! • Precise velocity measurement of projectile fragmentsprovides a novel access to investigate the MD of nuclear mean field • L.
