Influence of momentum dependent interactions on nuclear stopping in symmetric heavy-ion collisions

The role of momentum dependent interactions is studied in nuclear stopping at intermediate energy using an isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics model. Present calculations are performed at incident energy between 50 and 1000 MeV/nucleon. Our findings show that nuclear stopping is sensitive towards the impact parameter, incident energies as well as towards the mass of the colliding system. Further, the degree of stopping is suppressed by the inclusion of momentum dependent interactions, whereas the particle production is not affected by the MDI.
