Comment on: "Investigating the time dependence of neutron-proton equilibration using molecular dynamics simulations" by A.Jedele et al: Phys Rev C 107, 024601 (2023)

Abstract

In this paper, the authors discuss neutron-proton equilibration process induced on the 70Zn + 70Zn system at 35 MeV/nucleon, comparing experimental results with the Anti-symmetrized Molecular Dynamics and the Constrained Molecular Dynamics model simulations (COMD). The comment contains observations on the improper use of the COMD model, including some misinterpretations of the obtained results.
