Abstract

Within the transport model evaluation project (TMEP) of simulations for heavy-ion collisions, we present a detailed study of the performance of different transport models for mean-field propagation in a box and in Sn+Sn collisions at 270 AMeV, with particular emphasis on the production of pions and Δ resonances, which are often employed as probes of the nuclear symmetry energy. Thus, we prescribe common and rather simple physics models, and follow in detail the results of several Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck (BUU) models and quantum molecular dynamics (QMD) models. Concerning pion production, we find a convergence of the codes in the final charged pion yield ratio to a 1σ deviation of about 5%. However, the uncertainty is expected to be reduced to about 1.6% if improved Pauli blocking and calculation of the complex (non-linear) term in the mean-field potential are implemented in all codes.
