Contribution

It provides a systematic analysis of N/Z dependence of balance energy across masses and geometries, emphasizing the role of symmetry energy.

Findings

Balance energy decreases linearly with N/Z ratio.

N/Z dependence of balance energy is sensitive to symmetry energy.

Dependence observed across all masses and collision geometries.

Abstract

We study the N/Z dependence of balance energy throughout the mass range for colliding geometry varying from central to peripheral ones. Our results indicate that balance energy decreases linearly with increase in N/Z ratio for all the masses throughout the colliding geometry range. Also, the N/Z dependence of balance energy is sensitive to symmetry energy.
