N/Z Equilibration in Peripheral Reactions on the FAUST Array

In recent years, nucleon transport in peripheral heavy ion collisions has been proposed as a probe of the density dependence of the nuclear symmetry energy. Recently a high statistics data set was taken of the systems $^{32, 36}$S +$^{112,124}$Sn at 45 MeV/A using the FAUST arrray. Quasi-projectiles have been reconstructed from isotopically resolved fragments (with mass identification up to Z=14) to be used as a probe of the N/Z equilibration. Initial results show that quasi-projectiles are produced with a wide range of N/Z for each reaction system. Also, the quasi-projectile distributions show sensitivity to the N/Z of both the projectile and target used. Experimental results will be presented with comparisons to theoretical models.
