Pion Production in Heavy-ion Collisions in the 1 A GeV region

Within the framework of the improved isospin dependent quantum molecular dynamics (ImIQMD) model, the pion emission in heavy-ion collisions in the region 1AGeV is investigated systematically, in which the pion is considered to be mainly produced by the decay of resonances ∆(1232) and N∗(1440). The in-medium dependence and Coulomb effects of the pion production are included in the calculation. Total pion multiplicity and π−/π+ yields are calculated for the reaction 197Au+197Au in central collisions for selected Skyrme parameters SkP, SLy6,Ska, SIII and compared them with the measured data by the FOPI collaboration
