  Recent measurements of pre-equilibrium neutron and proton transverse emission
from (112,124)Sn+(112,124)Sn reactions at 50 MeV/A have been completed at the
National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory. Free nucleon transverse emission
ratios are compared to those of A=3 mirror nuclei. Comparisons are made to BUU
transport calculations and conclusions concerning the density dependence of the
asymmetry term of the nuclear equation-of-state at sub-nuclear densities are
made. The double-ratio of neutron-proton ratios between two reactions is
employed as a means of reducing first-order Coulomb effects and detector
efficiency effects. Comparison to BUU model predictions indicate a density
dependence of the asymmetry energy that is closer to a form in which the
asymmety energy increases as the square root of the density for the density
region studied. A coalescent-invariant analysis is introduced as a means of
reducing suggested difficulties with cluster emission in total nucleon
emission. Future experimentation is presented.
