CLASSICAL MANY-BODY MODEL FOR HEAVY-ION COLLISIONS .3. NE-NE AND CA-CA CALCULATIONS

The classical many-body model, previously introduced, has been employed to perform numerical calculations of systems consisting of 20 on 20 and 40 on 40 nucleons. Comparison is made with the 800A MeV data of Nagamiya, et al. Microscopic time development of the system and central compressions are displayed for Ca on Ca. Microscopic comparions with the fireball/firestreak models are presented; although qualitative agreement is found, interesting and expected shortcomings in the latter were seen. In particular, the classical many-body model exhibits shear viscosity and incomplete thermalization. © 1979.
