Abstract
The possibilities of modifications for symmetry and surface energy coefficients of nuclear matter at freeze-out density are investigated theoretically by means of isoscaling (isotopic scaling) on the basis of a statistical multifragmentation model. It is seen that while the isoscaling parameters as predicted by Markov chain calculations for the single sources 124Sn and 112Sn are very sensitive to the symmetry term, the surface energy variation slightly affects the isoscaling parameters in the multifragmentation region. The influence of these changes on the mean neutron to proton ratios of light fragments for 2 ⩽ Z ⩽ 10 is also shown. Comparing our results with MSU experimental data, it is confirmed that a significant reduction of the symmetry-term coefficient is found necessary to reproduce the isoscaling parameters of Z ⩽ 8 fragments.
