Effect of Symmetry Potential on Entropy in Intermediate Energy Heavy Ion Reactions

Based on the isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics model,effects of the symmetry potential,incident beam energy and different symmetry energy strength coefficients on the entropy of reaction system are studied.The results show that the symmetry potential affects the entropy,and the effect changes with the neutron-proton ratio of the reaction system.Besides,in ⁴⁰Ca+⁴⁰Ca and ⁴⁰Si+⁴⁰Sireaction systems,the symmetry energy strength coefficient also has effect on the entropy when the symmetry energy strength coefficient c=32 MeV,the effect on the entropy is largest for the two systems.Therefore the form and size of symmetry potential could be obtained by comparison of the model calculation and the experiments on the measurement of entropy.
