Neutron-Proton Transverse Emission Studies as a Signature of the Asymmetry Term of the Nuclear EOS

Neutron and proton transverse emission ratios are studied from the reactions $^{124}$Sn+${124}$Sn and $^{112}$Sn+$^{112}$Sn at 50 MeV/A as a signature of the density dependence of the asymmetry term of the nuclear EOS. Transverse neutron-proton emission ratios are compared to t/$^{3}$He ratios in the same framework. Results are compared to predictions from transport calculations, and future experiments are discussed.
