Microscopic description of heavy\u2013ion collisions

We solve numerically the Boltzmann Nordheim Vlasov equation and apply it to calculate physical observables. The collision term is treated in the mean free path approximation and checked for an exactly soluble problem. We calculate particle spectra produced in heavy ion collisions around the Fermi energy. Finally, we propose a method to extract cluster formation from an average distribution in phase space just accounting for some minimal dynamical fluctuations coming from the collision term. We apply it to the study of the "spectator" region, which actually reveals a lot of interesting features
