Abstract

The status of the analysis of the INDRA-VAMOS experiement performed at GANIL, using the reactions ^40,48Ca+^40,48Ca reactions at 35AMeV, are presented. Isotopic distributions of fragments produced in multifragmentation events provide information on the importance of the surface term contribution in the symmetry energy by comparison to AMD predictions.
