Isoscaling in dissipative projectile breakup

Abstract

Dynamical breakup of projectile-like fragments (PLF) following dissipative reactions of 48Ca projectiles with 112Sn and 124Sn is shown to exhibit "isoscaling" regularities that can be understood in terms of phase space governed by ground state masses. Ambiguities in isoscaling parameters obscure information on nuclear symmetry energy at subnormal densities. © Owned by the authors, 2012.
