TY - JOUR A1 - Aichelin, Jörg A1 - Rosenhauer, Albrecht A1 - Peilert, Georg A1 - Stöcker, Horst A1 - Greiner, Walter T1 - Importance of momentum dependent interactions for the extraction of the nuclear equation of state from high-energy heavy ion collisions T2 - Physical review letters N2 - We demonstrate that momentum-dependent nuclear interactions (MDI) have a large effect on the dynamics and on the observables of high-energy heavy-ion collisions: A soft potential with MDI suppresses pion and kaon yields much more strongly than a local hard potential and results in transverse momenta intermediate between soft and hard local potentials. The collective-flow angles and the deuteron-to-proton ratios are rather insensitive to the MDI. Only simultaneous measurements of these observables can give clues on the nuclear equation of state at densities of interest for supernova collapse and neutron-star stability.
