Abstract
Asymmetry dependent potentials, which produce neutron skins, are utilized in the Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck equation in order to simulate intermediate energy heavy-ion collisions. Compared to calculations done with the commonly used equation of states, the calculations which use the asymmetry dependent potentials produce neutron rich neck regions which reduces the orbiting of the major fragments and can produce primary, neutron rich, intermediate velocity (‘‘neck’’) fragments.
