Description
The nuclear symmetry energy at high density has been probed with heavy ion reactions at high energy and by analyzing neutron star properties. A new source of information has opened up with the observation of the first LIGO and Virgo GW170817 gravitational wave signal from a neutron star merger. It offers additional possibilities for quantitatively comparing terrestrial and celestial results with implications for the applied models and methods. The prospects for improved measurements of neutron and proton elliptic flows at FAIR using the NeuLAND and KRAB detectors will be discussed.
