Abstract

We performed a comprehensive study of collective flow and nuclear-stopping observables for reactions of \(^{129}\)Xe+\(^{120}\)Sn at incident energies of 50, 100, and 400 MeV/nucleon using isospin quantum molecular dynamics (IQMD) model. The role of nuclear symmetry energy and isospin-dependent nucleon-nucleon cross-section is examined for various sizes of fragment size. Our finding revealed that the dual sensitivity of these two isospin effects is present when observables are examined collectively for all fragments. However, the dual sensitivity is removed when flows and stopping observables are calculated exclusively for specific particles/fragments.
