Abstract

We study the effect of isospin degree of freedom on the balance energy (Ebal_{bal}) as well as its mass dependence throughout the mass range 48-270 for two sets of isobaric systems with N/Z = 1 and 1.4 at different colliding geometries ranging from central to peripheral ones. Our findings reveal the dominance of Coulomb repulsion in isospin effects on Ebal_{bal} as well as its mass dependence throughout the range of the colliding geometry. Our results also indicate that the effect of symmetry energy and nucleon-nucleon cross section on Ebal_{bal} is uniform throughout the mass range and throughout the colliding geometry. We also present the counter balancing of nucleon-nucleon collisions and mean field by reducing the Coulomb and the counter balancing of Coulomb and mean filed by removing the nucleon-nucleon collisions.
