It is found that the effect of $\\Delta$ potential on the ratio of pre-equilibrium free $n/p$ is negligible. The effect of $\\Delta$ potential on the ratio of $\\pi^-/\\pi^+$ may be observable (roughly 5\\%) only at lower incident beam energies and with stiffer symmetry energy. In heavy-ion collisions at intermediate energies, relating to the question of non-conservation of energy on $\\Delta$ or $\\pi$ productions, one can replace the $\\Delta$ potential by the nucleon isoscalar potential especially a soft symmetry energy is employed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-09-16T09:36:53.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "25.70.-z", "21.65.Ef" ], "keywords": [ "intermediate energies", "heavy-ion collisions", "delta potential", "lower incident beam energies", "soft symmetry energy" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1103/PhysRevC.92.054619" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1393697 } } }
