Isospin equilibration processes and dynamical correlations: study of the system $^{40}Cl+^{28}Si$ at 40 MeV/nucleon

Abstract

The asymptotic time derivative of the total dipole signal is proposed as an useful observable to investigate on Isospin equilibration phenomenon in multi-fragmentation processes. The study has been developed to describe charge/mass equilibration processes involving the gas and liquid "phases" of the total system formed during the early stage of a collision. General properties of this observable and the links with others isospin dependent phenomena are discussed. In particular, the $^{40}Cl+^{28}Si$ system at 40 MeV/nucleon is investigated by means of semiclassical microscopic many-body calculations based on the CoMD-II model. The study of the dynamical many-body correlations produced by the model also shows how the proposed observable is rather sensitive to different parameterizations of the isospin dependent interaction.
