Scientific paper

The nuclear symmetry energy governs many properties of neutron-rich nuclei and of neutron stars. Neutron star radii, moments of inertia, phase transitions in the stellar interior and the cooling of proto-neutron stars are among the stellar properties that are most strongly affected. A number of interesting experimental observables have been identified that provide opportunities to probe the density dependence of the symmetry energy via nucleus-nucleus collisions. In this talk, we discuss measurements and simulations of the isospin diffusion and neutron to proton emission observable over a wide incident energy range.
