Competition between heavy-ion reaction mechanisms as a function of the system isospin

The thesis describes the complex procedure of data reduction and analysis of a heavy-ion nuclear physics experiment performed at LNL in Legnaro (Italy). The experiment was focused on the reaction mechanism characterization at energies between the mean field region and the Fermi energy regime. Pre-equilibrium and isospin transport phenomena were also put into evidence. The results were compared with the literature and with advanced dynamical models.
