About this book
This volume comprises select peer-reviewed papers from the Indo-French Workshop on Multifragmentation, Collective Flow, and Sub-Threshold Particle Production in Heavy-Ion Reactions held at the Department of Physics, Panjab University, Chandigarh, India in February, 2019. The contents highlight latest research trends in intermediate energy nuclear physics and emphasize on the various reaction mechanisms which take place in heavy-ion collisions. The chapters contribute to the understanding of interactions that govern the dynamics at sub-nucleonic level. The book includes contributions from global experts hailing from major research facilities of nuclear physics, and provides a good balance between experimental and theoretical model based studies. Given the range of topics covered, this book can be a useful reference for students and researchers interested in the field of heavy-ion reactions.

About the editors
Prof. Rajeev K. Puri is working as Professor of Physics at Panjab University, Chandigarh, India. He obtained his Ph.D from Panjab University and then was a post-doctoral fellow at the Institut fur Theoretische Physik, Universitaet Tubingen, Germany and at the Laboratoire de Physique Nucleaire, Universite de Nantes, France. He has around 400 publications in journals and conferences to his credit with citations close to 6500. He has also guided about 25 Ph.D students. He has received prestigious awards like Scientist of the Year; Himachal Excellence Awards, S.N. Satyamurthy Memorial Award and Young Scientist Research award. He is an editor, member of editorial board, referee of about 47 journals. He is also on the board of academic/advisory bodies of about dozen noted universities throughout India. Currently, he is also holding a position of University coordinator of RUSA (National Higher Education Mission), Panjab University.
Prof. Joerg Aichelin is presently serving as Distinguished Scientist (class exceptionnelle) at the University of Nantes, France. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Heidelberg, and did his post-doctoral research at the Michigan State University, East Lansing, USA. He is a pioneer of theoretical nuclear physics at intermediate/high energies and his proposed n-body dynamical approach to identify fragment production in heavy-ion collisions is a benchmark in the field, which is widely used in the field of heavy-ion physics. He has numerous awards and honors to his credit like Fellow of Institute of Physics, London (2004); Member of Academia Europe (2010-), Spokesperson of a European Network of 20 European theoretical laboratories (2003-), Member of the Program Advisory Committee of the Gesellschaft fuer Schwerionenforschung (GSI) Darmstadt (2004-09), President of the Committee for financing the nuclear/high energy theory in France (2012-16) and many more. He has 239 publications in various reputed journals with over 8010 citations.
Dr. Sakshi Gautam is currently serving as Assistant Professor at the Department of Physics, Panjab University, Chandigarh, India. She obtained her B.Sc. (Hons. School Physics), M.Sc. (Hons. School Physics) as well as Ph.D from Panjab University. She was a Gold medalist both at the bachelor's and master's level. Her major areas of research are theoretical nuclear physics at intermediate energies and computational physics. She has around 80 publications in journals and conferences of International/national repute. She has successfully completed three research projects till date as principal/co-investigator and delivered numerous talks at symposia/workshops/conferences. She is in the reviewers panel of seven international journals. She was awarded the SERC-Fast Track Fellowship for Young Scientists in 2014.
Dr. Rohit Kumar obtained his Ph.D in theoretical nuclear physics from Panjab University, Chandigarh, India. He is currently working as a Research Associate at the Physics Department, Panjab University. His primary research interest is to study the fragment production and its associated dynamics at intermediate energy heavy-ion reactions. He has a number of research papers to his credit and has delivered talks in various conferences in India and abroad.
