Preface
This book has grown out of the lectures delivered in Indo-French Workshop on
Multifragmentation, Collective flow and Sub-Threshold Particle Production in
Heavy-Ion Collisions which was held at the Department of Physics, Panjab
University Chandigarh, India, during February 04–06, 2019. The aim of the
workshop was to provide a platform for discussing recent developments in nuclear
physics research at intermediate energies carried out in Eastern and Western worlds.
One of the unique and valuable dimensions to the workshop is the way that this
event has brought together all the expertise and educators from Europe to discuss
recent research going on at their part of the world and thus bridging the gap
between the boundaries. Besides formidable Indian speakers, we had invitees from
France and Germany which houses the major research facilities of nuclear physics,
both in experimental as well as theoretical fronts. In addition, young researchers in
the field had also been given the chance to present their work before the expertise
and thus gaining wonderful insight about their work. The workshop spanned over 3
days and 10 sessions and we could provide ample time to speakers to present their
respective topic at length. Collectively, the research discussed at the workshop
contributed to our knowledge and basic understanding of various reaction mechanisms which take place in heavy-ion collisions. This knowledge will lead to further
progress in the understanding various interactions that govern the dynamics at
sub-nucleonic level, ultimately, may shed light on the fate of the Universe. The
workshop aimed at creating a forum for further discussions on the thrust areas of
intermediate energy nuclear physics and thus a call for papers was addressed to all
the invites of the event. Thus, we are happy to bring out the contributed book
compiling all the lectures/talks delivered at the workshop and this volume provides
an opportunity for the readers to engage with a selection of referred papers that
were presented during the event. The volume contains twenty chapters, each corresponding to one contributed paper by each invitee. All the contributed papers
span over one or the other topics of the workshop; multifragmentation, collective
flow and sub-threshold particle production. Out of total 18 papers, a few belong to
experimental studies, while the rest deal with findings obtained using one or the
other available theoretical models. The details are listed in the table of contents.
