Nucleon flow and dilepton production in heavy-ion collisions
Abstract
Nucleon flow in Au+Au collisions at 1 GeV/nucleon region and dilepton spectra in S+Au collisions at SPS energies are analysed in the relativistic transport model. They are shown to be sensitive to the nucleon vector and scalar potentials, respectively, and are thus useful probes of these potentials in dense matter. A recently developed effective Lagrangian with self-interactions of vector as well as scalar fields is found to describe both data reasonably well.
