Abstract

Nuclear stopping is studied as a function of incident energy and charge of the fragment produced in central heavy-ion collisions (HIC) of \({~}_{79}^{197}\)Au\(+_{79}^{197}\)Au and \({~}_{28}^{58}\)Ni\(+_{28}^{58}\)Ni using stopping parameter VARXZ. Various momentum constraints were imposed to get better insight into the stopping. The comparison of measured and calculated values of stopping for protons reveals the significance of these constraints. Maximum stopping is obtained for the particles lying in the lowest range of the momentum distribution at all incident energies.
