Elliptic flow in intermediate energy heavy ion collisions and in-medium effects

Abstract

We investigate elliptic flow in heavy ion collisions at intermediate energies. In doing this, we implement and use a lattice-Hamiltonian model of the nuclear interaction and we also study the effect of in-medium nucleon-nucleon cross sections that follow consistently from the momentum-dependence of the nuclear mean field.
