“…In the microscopic Brueckner approach, it can be calculated from various models either non-relativistically or relativistically, see, e.g., Refs. [239,400,408,433,434]. Theoretically, approximations have to be made to render the calculations feasible.…”

The ultimate goal of studying isospin physics via heavy-ion reactions with neutron-rich, stable and/or radioactive nuclei is to explore the isospin dependence of in-medium nuclear effective interactions and the equation of state of neutron-rich nuclear matter, particularly the isospin-dependent term in the equation of state, i.e., the density dependence of the symmetry energy. Because of its great importance for understanding many phenomena in both nuclear physics and astrophysics, the study of the density dependence of the nuclear symmetry energy has been the main focus of the intermediate-energy heavy-ion physics community during the last decade, and significant progress has been achieved both experimentally and theoretically. In particular, a number of phenomena or observables have been identified as sensitive probes to the density dependence of the nuclear symmetry energy. Experimental studies have confirmed some of these interesting isospin-dependent effects and allowed us to constrain relatively stringently the symmetry energy at sub-saturation densities. The impacts of this constrained density dependence of the symmetry energy on the properties of neutron stars have also been studied, and they were found to be very useful for the astrophysical community. With new opportunities provided by the various radioactive beam facilities being constructed around the world, the study of isospin physics is expected to remain one of the forefront research areas in nuclear physics. In this report, we review the major progress achieved during the last decade in isospin physics with heavy ion reactions and discuss future challenges to the most important issues in this field.Key words: Equation of state of asymmetric nuclear matter, Nuclear symmetry energy, Heavy-ion reactions with neutron-rich nuclei, Neutron skin thickness of heavy nuclei, Neutron stars Constraining the Skyrme effective interactions and the neutron skin thickness of heavy nuclei using terrestrial nuclear laboratory data 216 8

“…Only a few attempts have been made to include realistic G-matrices into a transport description, see e.g. the work of the Tübingen group [47]. In many other cases, free or in medium corrected cross sections are used together with parameterizations of the mean-field (e.g.…”

“…The collective transverse flow in heavy ion collisions has been used extensively over the past three decades to gain insight into the properties of nuclear matter at different thermodynamical conditions [1][2][3]. The dependence of transverse flow to various entrance channel parameters like incident energy [4], system size [2], colliding geometry [5,6], mass asymmetry [7] and isospin of the reacting nuclei [5,8] is well established experimentally as well as theoretically.…”
