Conclusions and outlooks • The wide-range excitation function of nuclear stopping from 10 MeV/u to 1.2 GeV/u can be described within IQMD. • Minimum at Fermi energy, and Maximum at 300-400MeV/u was observed, consistent with the data. • Apart from 300MeV/u-400MeV/u, no equilibration state is expected during intermediate energy HIC. • In very central HIC, near Fermi energy, there exists the strongest entrance channel effect. • Nuclear stopping shows EOS dependence (soft EOS is favored). • NN cross section is also likely to be determined. • Chemical equilibration?
