Description

The mean free path of nucleons in heavy ion collisions is most essential for the development of nuclear collective phenomena. We discuss the effect of the nucleon Fermi motion in nuclei for shortening the mean free path. This Fermi motion together with the prior Pauli effect makes nuclei nontransparent for heavy ions in the medium energy domain. (orig.)
