Isospin in fragment production

Abstract
Based on a general approach to binary systems we show that in the low density region asymmetric nuclear matter (ANM) is unstable only against isoscalarlike fluctuations. The physical meaning of the thermodynamical chemical and mechanical instabilities is related to the inequality relations verified by the strength of interaction among different components. Relevance of these results in bulk and neck fragmentation is discussed.
