FREE NUCLEONS • Great overlap in velocity distributions • - Multisource fit technique is used Laboratory frame: Avec: where Es is the kinetic energy of a nucleon at rest in a source frame moving at Vs and θ is the detection angle Each source (QP,QC,SMR) has 4 parameters to fit: T(temperature), VS(velocity), BC(Coulomb barrier) and N (multiplicity).

CONCLUSION - Progressive neutron enrichment (with centrality) of MRS nuclear matter. • N/Z ratio of the complete MRS nuclear material reaches a value higher • than the initial system’s one (1.07) and that of the QP which decreases • around 1. • An experiment detecting neutron multiplicities and charged particles • in the same setup would greatly improve precision on MRS N/Z • measurement.
