Phys. Rev. Lett. 85, 4221–4224 (2000)Neutron-Proton Differential Flow as a Probe of Isospin-Dependence of the Nuclear Equation of StateReceived 8 August 2000; published in the issue dated 13 November 2000 The neutron-proton differential flow is shown to be a very useful probe of the isospin-dependence of the nuclear equation of state (EOS). This novel approach utilizes constructively both the isospin fractionation and the nuclear collective flow as well as their sensitivities to the isospin-dependence of the nuclear EOS. It also avoids effectively uncertainties associated with other dynamical ingredients of heavy-ion reactions at intermediate energies. © 2000 The American Physical Society URL:
