Abstract
The creation of a clustered and neutron-rich midvelocity (''neck'' or ''hot spot'') region in intermediate energy heavy-ion collisions is di scussed. Reaction simulations suggest that the preponderance of the ne utron-rich species in isotopic and isobaric ratios results primarily f rom the amplification of the initial neutron excess due to d (and by i nference alpha-particle) cluster formation.
