22 Concettina Sfienti Isoscaling and the Symmetry Energy …from isoscaling to  p0 fit of individual Z fits First experimental conclusion: The individual slopes are identical for Z≥3 Second experimental conclusion: The Isoscaling parameters continue to drop Increase in temperature does not compensate decrease of 

27 Concettina Sfienti Isotopic Effects Global N/Z effects are small Isotope distributions exhibit memory and structure effects Temperature invariant with N/Z in contradiction to limiting temperature assumption Isoscaling Isoscaling data extended into the vaporization regime Reduced symmetry term at freeze-out …something…. Conclusion & Outlook What have we learnt?

28 Concettina Sfienti Conclusion & Outlook …need to be answered… Why does the limiting temperature approximation seem to work so well for the masses but not for the isospin? Isoscaling...why does it work so well? Does  really remain constant? Unique Chance: NEUTRONS!
