Description
Abstract: The INDRA and FAZIA collaborations aim at investigating the nuclear equation of state by using heavy ion collisions in a wide range of beam energies and isotopic composition. These two multi detector arrays, now coupled at GANIL, allow detecting a large set of reaction products over the largest dynamical range, good isotopic resolution and with low energy identification thresholds. This is very important to characterize the various mechanisms involved in the collisions and better isolate the events of interest. Indeed heavy ion reactions are very rich and provide different kind on analyses, from multi fragmentation (link to phase transition), to isospin transport in relation with symmetry energy, clustering effects, access to both low and high density (with respect to the saturation density of the nucleus)… In this contribution we explore various topics of interest we envisage in a mid to long range plan within European facilities.
