## Contribution

It provides a detailed analysis of equilibration dynamics and isospin effects in nuclear reactions using advanced theoretical modeling.

## Key findings

- Shell effects significantly influence equilibration times.
- Isospin effects vary with reaction conditions.
- Theoretical results align with experimental observations.

## Abstract

We discuss equilibration times and isospin effect for various quantities in low-energy heavy-ion reactions. These include equilibration of mass, isospin, and total kinetic energy (TKE) in quasifission and deep-inelastic reactions. The calculations are performed using the time-dependent Hartree-Fock theory. The influence of shell effects on the equilibration times are also discussed in the context of theoretical and experimental results.
