C. Fuchs and H.H. Wolter, EuPhJ A30 (2006) 5 Symmetry energy • The density dependence of symmetry energy is largely unconstrained. • What is “stiff” or “soft” (curvature) is density dependent Z. Xiao et al., PRL102 (2009) 062502 The asymmetry term contributes a greater uncertainty than does the symmetric matter EOS. (Bao-An Li)

Tsang) Supra-saturation densities The only available data (FOPI and FOPI–LAND) result in a contradictory predictions for Esym: • n-p squeeze-out data from Au+Au collisions at E = 400A MeV [Y. Leifels et al., PRL 71 (1993) 963] →the UrQMD code predicts a steady rise of Esym → γ=0.60.3[W. Trautmann et al., ProgPartNuPh (2009)]. • n-p squeeze-out data from Au+Au collisions at E = 400A MeV [Y. Leifels et al., PRL 71 (1993) 963] →the UrQMD code predicts a steady rise of Esym → γ=0.60.3[W. Trautmann et al., ProgPartNuPh (2009)]. • π+-/π+ yield ratio data for Au+Au collisions in a broad energy range [Reisdorf et al., NP A781 (2007) 459] →the IBUU04 code predicts a vanishing Esym → γ=0.960.21, super soft asyEOS[Z.

Open Q’s & problems • What is an adequate parameterization ofEsym = f(r/r0) ? • What is an adequate parameterization ofEsym = f(N-Z) ? • Although of fundamental importance,isovector effects on EOS areweaker thanthose of symmetric matter • Strong in-medium effects • Subtle choice of multiple& cross-checkobservables + subtle phase-space cuts
Solutions • To cancel or at least minimize “symmetric” .background take isobaric ratios • To maximize isovector effects study pairs.of systems whit largest neutron excess • Measure excitation functions to enhance . sensitivity • Make multiple cuts: y, pt, F, … • High statistics of data taking • Beamof highintensity
Supra-saturation densities • p- / p+ ratio • K- / K+, K+ / K0 • neutron-proton differential transverse flow • n / p ratio (@ mid-rapidity) • t / 3He ratio • nucleon elliptical flow at high transverse . momenta • isospin transparency • deconfinement precursors (?) • …
Summary and outlook • Theory highly ambiguous: seeks inputs from experiment in the range 1<r/r0<5. • Astrophysics (supernova dynamics and compact stars): any input is welcome. • Present simulations are non-conclusive.Only measurement could cut on the symmetry energy term of nuclear EOS. • Theory highly ambiguous: seeks inputs from experiment in the range 1<r/r0<5. • Astrophysics (supernova dynamics and compact stars): any input is welcome. • Present simulations are non-conclusive.Only measurement could cut on the symmetry energy term of nuclear EOS. • FAIR and super-FRS offer high intensity relativistic radioactive beams while R3B offers an adequate detection instrumentbest suited to constrain the symmetry E.
