Normal or abnormal isospin-fractionation as a qualitative probe of nuclear symmetry energy at supradensities

Within two different frameworks of isospin-dependent transport model, effect of nuclear symmetry energy at supradensities on the isospin-fractionation (IsoF) was investigated. With positive/negative symmetry potential at supradensities (i.e., values of symmetry energy increase/decrease with density...
