16. 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 E ven-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 dependence of the symmetry 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 in semi-peripheral collisions non complete N/Z equilibrium ( preliminary results ) estimate of the fraction of equilibrium reached Thank you for the attention !
