HIC constraints on symmetry energy
Current constraints from HIC weigh heavily on isospin diffusion. (The n/p ratios are more for consistency checks due to large error bars at high nucleon energy.

Confirm the assumed Linearity of α on δ
• α depends linearly on the asymmetry according to statistical and dynamic models.
• Experimentally verified in central collisions.
• Measure 118Sn on 118Sn to add a data point to 112Sn + 112Sn and 124Sn + 124Sn.

1.2 RIKEN Experiment
• 108Sn + 112Sn • 108Sn + 124Sn • 112Sn + 112Sn (referenced to MSU) • 112Sn + 124Sn (referenced to MSU)
Primary beam: 124Xe (10-30 pnA)No 124Sn beam because there is no 132Xe primary beam124Sn Beam is not availableProposed beams : 108Sn and 112SnProposed reactions:
Calculations use beam intensities in the proposal based on 100 pnA of 124Xe beams
