Conclusion & Outlook

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?

Concettina SfientiConclusion & 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!
