Abstract
This paper summarizes the isoscaling and isospin related studies in asymmetry nuclear reactions by different dynamic and statistical models. Isospin dependent quantum molecular dynamics model (IQMD) and lattice gas model (LGM) are used to study the isoscaling properties and isoscaling parameters dependence on incident energies, impact parameters, temperature and other parameters. In the LGM model, the signal of phase transition has been found in free neutron (proton) chemical potential difference Δµn or Δµp as a function of temperature, or in free neutron and proton chemical potential difference Δµn−Δµp. Density dependence of symmetry energy coefficient C sym(ρ/ρ 0) is also studied in the frame of LGM, with the potential parameters which can reproduce the nuclear ground state property, soft density dependence of symmetry energy is deduced from the simulation results. Giant dipole resonance (GDR) induced by isospin asymmetry in entrance channel is also studied via IQMD model, and the dynamic dipole resonance shows isospin sensitivity on the isospin asymmetry of entrance channel and symmetry energy of the nuclear equation of state (EOS). GDR can also be regarded as a possible isospin sensitive signature.
