摘要: 同位旋物理的主要任务之一是通过放射性核束引起的核反应来探索介质中有效核子-核子相互作用的同位旋依赖性，尤其是同位旋相关的核物质状态方程， 即密度依赖的核物质对称能。由于对称能，尤其是其高密行为，对核物理学和天体物理学具有重要意义，密度依赖的对称能在过去10年一直是中能重离子物理研究领域的主要焦点之一。近年来，低密对称能的研究已经取得了重要进展， 而对称能的高密行为仍然很不确定。在理论方面，人们提出了许多对高密对称能敏感的观测量。 实验方面， 关于对称能高密行为研究的实验计划已经展开，世界各地正在建造的放射性核束装置为对称能的高密行为研究提供了新的机遇。基于IBUU输运模型综述了研究对称能高密行为的一些敏感观测量及其最新进展， 以及所面临的挑战与机遇。One of the major tasks of studying isospin physics via heavyion collisions with neutronrich nuclei, is to explore the isospin dependence of inmedium nuclear effective interactions and the equation of state of neutronrich nuclear matter, i.e., the density dependence of nuclear symmetry energy. Because of its great importance for understanding many phenomena in both nuclear physics and astrophysics, the study of the density dependence of nuclear symmetry energy has been the main focus of the intermediateenergy heavyion physics community during the last decade. Nowadays significant progress has been achieved in studying the low density behavior of nuclear symmetry energy, but the high density behavior of nuclear symmetry energy is still very uncertain. Theoretically, a number of observables have been proposed as sensitive probes to the high density behavior of nuclear symmetry energy. With new opportunities provided by the various radioactive beam facilities being constructed around the world, studies of the high density behavior of nuclear symmetry energy is expected to be one of the main forefront research areas in nuclear physics in the near future. In this report, based on the transport model IBUU we have reviewed the major progress achieved in studying the high density behavior of nuclear symmetry energy and discussed future challenges in this field.
