Summary and conclusions • N/Z effects on nuclear reactions can be explored by colliding nuclei with large differences in N/Z; in our case 40,48Ca+40,48Ca at 25 MeV/nucleon • Even-odd effects on Z and N distributions Evaporation stage of excited fragments • Nuclear dynamics seems to strongly depend on N/Z values of entrance channels. The balance between ER and other mechanisms in semi-central events depends strongly on the neutron richness of entrance channels. • Dynamical calculations (CoMD-II model) reproduce the experimental mass spectra, and indicate a stiff dependenceof thesymmetry energy in nuclear EoS at low density • Weak dependence of thermodynamical parameters on the N/Z of entrance channels • Isospin diffusion signals were obtained by looking at light isobar yields emitted by QP source insemi-peripheralcollisions non complete N/Z equilibrium (preliminary results) estimate of the fraction of equilibrium reached INFN –LNS and Sezione di Napoli Thank you for the attention !
