Influence of statistical sequential decay on isoscaling and symmetry   energy coefficient in a GEMINI simulation
  Extensive calculations on isoscaling behavior with the sequential-decay model gemini are performed for the medium-to-heavy nuclei in the mass range A = 60-120 at excitation energies up to 3 MeV/nucleon. The comparison between the products after the first-step decay and the ones after the entire-steps decay demonstrates that there exists a strong sequential decay effect on the final isoscaling parameters and the apparent temperature. Results show that the apparent symmetry energy coefficient $\gamma_{app}$ does not reflect the initial symmetry energy coefficient $C_{sym}$ embedded in the mass calculation in the present GEMINI model.
