The impact of the kaon polarization in nuclear matter on the K− yield in intermediate-energy heavy-ion collisions is investigated. Our scenario of the strange particle production and dynamics is based on an expanding fireball model. This allows for a proper account of in-medium effects. A relation between observed K+ and K− yields is derived. Differential K− cross-sections are calculated and compared with available experimental data taken at various collision energies. It turns out that in-medium effects can modify the K− yields by factors 2 to 5 at beam energies between 2 and 1 AGeV.

In nuclear collisions induced by stable or radioactive neutron-rich nuclei a transient state of nuclear matter with an appreciable isospin asymmetry as well as thermal and compressional excitation can be created. This offers the possibility to study the properties of nuclear matter in the region between symmetric nuclear matter and pure neutron matter. In this review, we discuss recent theoretical studies of the equation of state of isospin-asymmetric nuclear matter and its relations to the properties of neutron stars and radioactive nuclei. Chemical and mechanical instabilities as well as the liquid-gas phase transition in asymmetric nuclear matter are investigated. The in-medium nucleon-nucleon cross sections at different isospin states are reviewed as they affect significantly the dynamics of heavy ion collisions induced by radioactive beams. We then discuss an isospin-dependent transport model, which includes different mean-field potentials and cross sections for the proton and neutron, and its application to these reactions. Furthermore, we review the comparisons between theoretical predictions and available experimental data. In particular, we discuss the study of nuclear stopping in terms of isospin equilibration, the dependence of nuclear collective flow and balance energy on the isospin-dependent nuclear equation of state and cross sections, the isospin dependence of total nuclear reaction cross sections, and the role of isospin in preequilibrium nucleon emissions and subthreshold pion production.

The deformed projectiles and targets are expected to play different roles in heavy-ion collisions (HICs) at intermediate energy compared with spherical ones. With an isospin dependent quantum molecular dynamics (IDQMD) model, in despite of averaging all the orientations of axisymmetric deformed 24 Mg + 24 Mg collisions, it is still found that NN collision number, nuclear stopping power (R) and multiplicity of fragments have considerable differences compared with spherical 24 Mg + 24 Mg collisions.

We investigate the influence of the in-medium modifications of nucleon-nucleon cross sections on the particle production in heavy ion collisions at intermediate energies. In particular, it is shown that the pion and kaon yields and their rapidity distributions are strongly affected by the density dependence of the inelastic cross sections. On the other hand, the particle ratios depend less on the in-medium behavior of the inelastic cross sections.
