The formation of nuclear clusters constitutes an essential feature for the construction of global and unified equation-of-state (EoS) for nuclear matter. They emerge as many-body correlations, which can be attributed to the nucleon-nucleon (NN) interaction, and exist at sub-saturation densities in nuclear matter.
Phenomenological models that make use of energy density functionals (EDFs)...
We develop a kinetic approach to the production of light nuclei up to mass number A = 4 in intermediate-energy heavy-ion collisions by including them as dynamic degrees of freedom. The conversions between nucleons and light nuclei during the collisions are incorporated dynamically via the breakup of light nuclei by a nucleon and their inverse reactions. We also include the Mott effect on light...
