TL;DR: The production of kaons at subthreshold energies from heavy-ion collisions is sensitive to the nuclear equation of state and the Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck model is used to model this phenomenon.
Abstract: The production of kaons at subthreshold energies from heavy-ion collisions is sensitive to the nuclear equation of state. In the Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck model, the number of produced kaons from central collisions between heavy nuclei at incident energies around 700 MeV/nucleon can vary by a factor of \ensuremath{\sim} 3, depending on the equation of state.

TL;DR: In this paper, the spectral function P(k, E) of finite nuclei is derived by combining the nuclear-matter correlated part, evaluated in local-density approximation, with the finite-nucleus single-particle part obtained from mean-field calculations or (e, e′p) experiments.

TL;DR: In this article, a combined macroscopic-microscopic transport approach employing relativistic hydrodynamics for the early, dense, deconfined stage of the reaction and a microscopic nonequilibrium model for the later hadronic stage where the equilibrium assumptions are not valid anymore is introduced.
Abstract: We introduce a combined macroscopic-microscopic transport approach employing relativistic hydrodynamics for the early, dense, deconfined stage of the reaction and a microscopic nonequilibrium model for the later hadronic stage where the equilibrium assumptions are not valid anymore. Within this approach we study the dynamics of hot, bulk QCD matter, which is expected to be created in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions at the Super Proton Synchrotron, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, and the Large Hadron Collider. Our approach is capable of self-consistently calculating the freeze-out of the hadronic system, while accounting for the collective flow on the hadronization hypersurface generated by the QGP expansion. In particular, we perform a detailed analysis of the reaction dynamics, hadronic freeze-out, and transverse flow. (c) 2000 The American Physical Society.

TL;DR: In this paper, the current status of the incompressibility coefficient of symmetric nuclear matter was determined from experimental data on isoscalar giant monopole and dipole resonances (compression modes) in nuclei, by employing the microscopic theory based on the random phase approximation (RPA).
Abstract: Accurate assessment of the value of the incompressibility coefficient, K, of symmetric nuclear matter, which is directly related to the curvature of the equation of state (EOS), is needed to extend our knowledge of the EOS in the vicinity of the saturation point. We review the current status of K as determined from experimental data on isoscalar giant monopole and dipole resonances (compression modes) in nuclei, by employing the microscopic theory based on the random-phase approximation (RPA).
