Hadronic Transport Models

Abstract

Hadronic transport models may be utilized to extract bulk nuclear properties. Deduction of in-medium nucleon-nucleon cross sections and of nuclear viscosity is discussed, as well as the extraction of momentum dependence of nucleonic mean field. Moreover, determination of the nuclear incompressibility and of constraints on the nuclear pressure at supranormal densities is described.
