The quantum molecular dynamics approach, an n-body theory to describe heavy ion
reactions between 100 MeV/n and 2 GeV/n is reviewed. We start out with a survey of the …

We investigate how current and proposed observations of neutron stars can lead to an
understanding of the state of their interiors and the key unknowns: the typical neutron star …

The strategy and techniques for analyzing anisotropic flow (directed, elliptic, etc.) in
relativistic nuclear collisions are presented. The emphasis is on the use of the Fourier …

Nuclear collisions can compress nuclear matter to densities achieved within neutron stars
and within core-collapse supernovae. These dense states of matter exist momentarily before …

We propose a new method to study transverse flow effects in relativistic nuclear collisions by
Fourier analysis of the azimuthal distribution on an event-by-event basis in relatively narrow …

The ultimate goal of studying isospin physics via heavy-ion reactions with neutron-rich,
stable and/or radioactive nuclei is to explore the isospin dependence of in-medium nuclear …

Recent developments in the theory of pure neutron matter and experiments concerning the
symmetry energy of nuclear matter, coupled with recent measurements of high-mass …

In the last few years heavy ion experiments have addressed key questions regarding the
behavior of nuclear matter at high excitation and density. Simultaneous progress in theory …

The roles of isospin asymmetry in nuclei and neutron stars are investigated using a range of
potential and field-theoretical models of nucleonic matter. The parameters of these models …

We review the new possibilities offered by the reaction dynamics of asymmetric heavy-ion
collisions, using stable and unstable beams. We show that it represents a rather unique tool …
