Probing the nuclear matter isospin asymmetry by nucleon-induced reactions at Fermi energies

Despite the fact that valuable experimental measures are still lacking, available nuclear data on nucleon-induced reactions open new opportunities to address either reaction mechanisms or nuclear interaction characteristics. In this work single and double differential cross sections of emitted particles are analyzed and compared with the experiment. It will be evidenced that these cross sections follow a precise hierarchy. The preequilibrium components of the spectra are built up by the dynamics of the reaction as well as by the properties of the nuclear interaction.
