29. Parameters of this Hamiltonian are determined to reproduce the saturation properties of nuclear matter, and the binding energy and the rms radius of finite nuclei, especially of heavier ones relevant to the present study [see also H. Sonoda, Phys. Rev. C 77, 035806 (2008) for model dependence of the phase diagram within QMD]. It is also confirmed that a QMD Hamiltonian close to the present model provides a good description of nuclear reactions including the low energy region (several MeV per nucleon), which would be important for the present case.
