PRC27(1983)2782 Heavy Ion Collisions large regions of r, T, d, measure the N/Z ratios of the emitted particles (n/p ratios, isospin diffusion, t/He3, N/Z ratios of IMFs, flow, pi- /pi+, ……) compare with the prediction from the transport model, in which the different symmetry potential can be used. the symmetry energy information can be extracted. Indirectly! (depends on models)

ImQMD05 (Improved QMD model developed at CIAE)  the mean fields acting on nucleon wavepackets are derived from Skyrme potential energy density functional potential energy density functional: EOS H=T+U+U_coul Surface symmetry energy term Detail of code: Zhang, et alPR C71 (05) , PR C74 (06) , PRC75,034615(07)., PL B664 (08) 145, PRC85(2012)024602

 Isospin dependent nucleon-nucleon cross sections are adopted, the medium corrections are Cugnon, et al., Nucl.Instr.Meth.Phys. B111, 215(1996) h depend on the beam energy Well reproduce the data of charge distribution, direct flow, elliptical flow and stopping power (30-400AMeV), DR(n/p), Ri (at 50AMeV, 35AMeV), Ri(y), et.al.,

64Ni+64NI, 35AMeV, b=4fm 1, LCP mainly came from neck region 2, Yield of LCP depend on the density dependence of symmetry energy 3, Calculation with soft symmetry energy case predict larger yield for d, t,He3, He4, He6 4, t,He3, He4, He6, Dynamical emission. Better to probe the symmetry energy. Properties of LCP emission g_i=0.5 or 2.0

Fragmentation mechanism QT QP beam 1, binary, ternary fragmentation events are ~50%; and mult- fragmentation events are ~50%. more transparency. 2, binary, ternary fragmentation events; increase the yield at middle rapidity 3, 50% multi-fragmentation events; decrease the yield at proj/targ region Zhang/Zhou/Chen, et.al, Submitted Binary: M(Z>3)=2, Ternary: M(Z>3)=3, Multi: M(Z>3) >=4

Rapidity distribution for LCP 1, Calculations with stiff symmetry energy case well reproduce rapidity distribution for LCPs. 2, Width of rapidity distribution for LCP decrease with mass increasing Zhang/Zhou/Chen, et.al, Submitted 3, Difference at backward. The decreased efficiency for detection of LCPs at backward region.

1, reproduce the R^mid_yield for 64Zn reaction system 2, LCP data definitely rule out gamma_i<0.5, it improve the previous constraints g_i=[0.45,0.95]. 3, Underestimate the R^mid_yield for neutron-rich reaction system, should be further understand. Zhang/Zhou/Chen, et.al, Submitted Enhanced emission of LCPs and constraints on S(r)

Conclusion Dynamical process is the main reason on well describing the rapidity distribution for LCP. Our results suggest that reaction system is more transparency than that predicted by SMF approaches. Binary and ternary events, 50%; multi- fragmentation events: 50%. Binary and ternary fragmentation events tends to produce LCPs at middle rapidity, but multi-fragmentation events tends to produce at forward and backward region. The data of rapidity distribution for LCP and their ratio R^mid_yield definitely rule out the g_i=0.5, and it improve the previous constraints on symmetry energy g_i=(0.45,0.95).
