Studies of the equation-of-state of nuclear matter by heavy-ion collisions at intermediate energy in the multi-messenger era
The study of the nuclear matter equation-of-state (EoS) is a relevant topic of modern nuclear physics. It governs the behaviour of nuclear matter away from the normal conditions found in nuclei interiors and p...

Isospin influence on fragments production in 78Kr + 40Ca and 86Kr + 48Ca collisions at 10 MeV/nucleon
In heavy ion collisions at low energy (E/A < 10–15 MeV/nucleon) the N/Z ratio in the entrance channel is closely related to the isospin degree of freedom and can influence the reaction mechanisms and consequently...

Experimental effects of dynamics and thermodynamics in nuclear reactions on the symmetry energy as seen by the CHIMERA 4 \( \pi\) detector
Heavy-ion collisions have been widely used in the last decade to constrain the parameterizations of the symmetry energy term of the nuclear equation of state (EOS) for asymmetric nuclear matter as a function o...

Isospin aspects in nuclear reactions involving Ca beams at 25 MeV/nucleon
Isospin dependence of dynamical and thermodynamical properties observed in reactions 40Ca+ 40,48Ca and 40Ca + 46Ti at 25 MeV/nucleon has been studied. We used the CHIMERA multi-detector array. Strong isospin effe...
