Disappearance of Flow in Heavy-Ion Collisions for System Mass > 175

Abstract

Using the QMD model, we study the mass dependence of the disappearance of transverse flow in heavier colliding nuclei. A power law mass dependence is obtained in all cases. Our results are in excellent agreement with data. For the first time, we predict the balance energy of U+U around 37-39 MeV/nucleon.
