Isospin Diffusion and Equilibration for Sn+Sn collisions at E/A=35 MeV

Abstract

Equilibration and equilibration rates have been measured by colliding Sn nuclei with different isospin asymmetries at beam energies of E/A=35 MeV. Using the yields of mirror nuclei of 7Li and 7Be, we have studied the diffusion of isospin asymmetry by combining data from asymmetric 112Sn+124Sn and 124Sn+112Sn collisions with that from symmetric 112Sn+112Sn and 124Sn+124Sn collisions. We use these measurements to probe isospin equilibration in central collisions where nucleon-nucleon collisions are strongly blocked by the Pauli exclusion principal. The results are consistent with transport theoretical calculations that predict a degree of transparency in these collisions, but inconsistent with the emission of intermediate mass fragments by a single chemically equilibrated source. Comparisons with ImQMD calculations are consistent with results obtained at higher incident energies that provide constraints on the density dependence of the symmetry energy.
