Au+au Central Collisions at 150, 250 And 400 A Mev Energies in Qmd With Relativistic Forces

Abstract

Using the small acceleration approximation we derive a relativistic scalar-vector force from a modified Zimanyi-Moszkowski Lagrangian based on sigma, omega and rho meson exchanges. The momentum dependence of the force is fixed automatically by the theory. We present an application of such a force in a QMD calculation at intermediate energies comparing the results with the experimental ones published recently by the FOPI collaboration. For most of the quantities (number of intermediate mass fragments, ERAT, integrated side how central flow, charge distributions, etc.) we find agreement with the experimental results.
