Abstract

The creation of a clustered and neutron-rich midvelocity (``neck'' or ``hot spot'') region in intermediate-energy heavy-ion collisions is discussed. Reaction simulations suggest that the preponderance of the neutron-rich species in isotopic and isobaric ratios results primarily from the amplification of the initial neutron excess due to $d$ (and by inference $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-particle) cluster formation.
