Abstract

We have created quasiprojectiles of varying isospin via peripheral reactions of 28 Si with 112,124Sn at 30 and 50 MeV/nucleon. An enhanced neutron richness is observed in the light fragments with a corresponding decrease in neutron content of the heavier fragments. The enhancement of the neutron-rich light fragments changes dramatically with the N/Z of the reconstructed quasiprojectile. This non-homogeneous distribution of isospin is larger at the lower energy.
