− The symmetry energy at sub and supra-saturation densities has a
great
importance in understanding the exact nature of asymmetric nuclear
matter as
well as neutron stars.We
will implement
neutrons to protons ratios from different kind of fragments to
understand the
symmetry energy behavior by using the IQMD model. For the sub-saturation
behavior of symmetry
energy, we will compare the single and double ratio of neutrons to
protons with
the experimental data of NSCL collaboration. Along with experimental
data, double ratio
results of IQMD will be compared with the different theoretical
results of
BUU97, IBUU04, BNV and ImQMD models.For
the supra-saturation behavior of symmetry energy, we will present
the incident
energy and isospin asymmetry dependence of single and double
neutrons to
protons ratio from different kind of fragments (free, light
charged particles
and intermediate mass fragments) by using the soft and stiff
symmetry energies.
At sub-saturation
densities, the soft
symmetry energy is favored by our calculations, while at
supra-saturation
densities, the neutrons to protons ratio from free nucleons is
found to be most
sensitive compared to all other kind of fragments.
