  Symmetry energy is a key quantity in the study of the equation of state of
asymmetric nuclear matter. Heavy ion collisions at low and intermediate
energies, performed at Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro and Laboratori Nazionali
del Sud, can be used to extract information on the symmetry energy coefficient
Csym, which is currently poorly known but relevant both for astrophysics and
for structure of exotic nuclei.
