ANALYSIS OF INTERMEDIATE-ENERGY HEAVY-ION COLLISIONS WITHIN RELATIVISTIC MEAN-FIELD 2-FLUID MODEL

A three-dimensional realization of the relativistic mean-field two-fluid model is described. First results of analyzing the inclusive data on the yield of nuclear fragments and pions, as well as the Plastic-Ball rapidity distributions of nuclear fragments are presented. For comparison, calculations within the conventional relativistic hydrodynamical model with the same mean fields are also performed. In spite of a pronounced sensitivity of the nuclear dynamics to the nuclear equation of state (more precisely, to the form of the mean fields), it is found that all the analyzed observables, except the pion spectra, appear to be fairly insensitive to it. The sensitivity to the nuclear stopping power is slightly higher. The original sensitivity of the rapidity distributions to the stopping power is smeared out by the Plastic-Ball filter and selection criterion. Nevertheless, one can conclude that the stopping power induced by the Cugnon parametrization of the nucleon-nucleon cross sections is not quite sufficient for a more adequate reproduction of the experimental data.
