θ med =11.5 Staggering, reaction mechanisms and dissipation Does the amplitude of the even-odd effect vary as a function of reaction mechanisms (m 1 ) or dissipation (m Lcp )? M. D Agostino et al, NPA 861 (2011) preliminary results ER selection staggering is suppressed High m Lcp high dissipation staggering is suppressed Low m Lcp or BL selection staggering is enhanced preliminary results importance of reaction mechanisms Effects of temperature, density asymmetry term?
Semi-central collisions: evaporation residue emission Central events (m cp 5, 6) with the presence of a fast quasi-projectile (v 2 or v 3 >0.13c) (massive transfer). Mass velocity correlations of the largets fragment emitted: N/Z=1.4 N/Z=1.05 Check system N/Z=1.2 N/Z=1.0 The observed phenomenon can not be attributed to mass effects 48 Ca and 46 Ti have similar masses The N/Z degree of freedom strongly influences the reaction mechanisms: Larger N/Z larger evaporation residue emission in Incomplete Fusion events Lower N/Z binary-like, fusion-fission and IMF emission prevail N/Z effects in reaction mechanisms

p,d,t emission in coincidence with ER We selected events with Evaporation Residue emission (m ER > 0.55m tot ) is seen. Isotopic composition of hydrogens at θ cm >40 LCP evaporated by ICF sources d/p, t/p and t/d ratios are strongly connected with the N/Z of the entrance channels the ICF sources have N/Z contents that reflect very well the initial N/Z rank pre-equilibrium does not modify the original N/Z rank Evaporated LCP N/Z of the excited source

Summary and conclusions N/Z effects on nuclear reactions can be explored by colliding nuclei with large differences in N/Z; in our case 40,48 Ca+ 40,48 Ca at 25 MeV/nucleon (at fragmentation threshold) Even-odd effects on Z and N distributions Evaporation stage of excited fragments effects of reaction mechanisms on staggering amplitude 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 dependence of the symmetry energy in nuclear EoS at low density Isospin diffusion signals were obtained by looking at light isobar yields emitted by QP source in semi-peripheral collisions non complete N/Z equilibrium (preliminary results) Thank you for the attention!
