Abstract

Effects related to the neutron to proton ratio (N/Z) degree of freedom in ^40,48Ca+^40,48Ca reactions at 25 MeV/nucleon have been investigated. Isotopic effect and even-odd staggering characterize the emission of light fragments at forward angles. The study of isobaric ratio ⁷Li/⁷Be for quasi-projectile source in semi-peripheral event of reactions allows moreover to investigate isospin diffusion effects in heavy ion collisions.
