Effect of initial-state geometric configurations on the nuclear liquid-gas phase transition

Y. T. Cao, X. G. Deng, Y. G. Ma

Within the framework of an extended quantum molecular dynamics model, we simulated ${}^{40}$Ca + ${}^{16}$O collisions at beam energies ranging from 60 to 150 MeV/nucleon for ${}^{16}$O…
