Transverse flow and its disappearance for superheavy mass reactions

The collective transverse flow of nuclear matter and it's disappearance at the energy of vanishing flow (EVF) observed in heavy-ion collisions have been studied systematically as a function of beam energy, system mass, colliding geometry as well as isospin and mass asymmetry of reacting/colliding partners. Among them, system size effects have drawn a significant interest of the community and have been proved to be useful to pin down the behavior of nuclear equation of state (EOS) and in-medium nucleon-nucleon (nn) scattering cross-section. Recent past has witnessed lot of efforts in this direction of investigating the mass dependence of EVF on both experimental as well as theoretical fronts
