Sizes in Nuclear Multifragmentation and the Statistical Exploration of Fragmentation Phase Space
نویسندگان
چکیده
The multiplicity distributions for individual fragment Z values in nuclear multifragmentation are binomial. The extracted maximum value of the mul-tiplicity, m Z , is found to depend on Z according to m Z = Z 0 /Z, where Z 0 is the source size. This is shown to be a strong indication of statistical coverage of fragmentation phase space. The inferred source sizes coincide with those extracted from the analysis of fixed multiplicity charge distributions.

Statistical Exploration of Fragmentation Phase Space and Source Sizes in Nuclear Multifragmentation

متن کاملNuclear multifragmentation, Its relation to general physics
Heat can flow from cold to hot at any phase separation, even in macroscopic systems. Therefore also Lynden-Bell’s famous gravo-thermal catastrophe [1] must be reconsidered. In contrast to traditional canonical Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics this is correctly described only by microcanonical statistics. Systems studied in chemical thermodynamics (ChTh) by using canonical statistics consist of severa...

The two instructive effects concerning fragment production at disintegration of finite nuclei are predicted with the statistical multi-fragmentation model: (1) a concentration of neutrons in intermediate mass fragments during the phase transition, (2) the break of the spatial symmetry of the fragment's isospin distribution, as well as of the symmetry of the fragment's emission from a statistica...
متن کاملIsospin Observables in Multifragmentation of Relativistic Projectiles
Multifragmentation is a universal phenomenon occurring when a large amount of energy is deposited in a nucleus. It was observed in high energy nuclear reactions induced by hadrons and heavy ions. It is believed to be a manifestation of the nuclear liquid-gas phase transition which is also expected to occur in crusts of neutron stars and in supernova explosions. This reaction offers a unique pos...
متن کاملMultifragmentation, Clustering, and Coalescence in Nuclear Collisions
Nuclear collisions at intermediate, relativistic, and ultra-relativistic energies offer unique opportunities to study in detail manifold fragmentation and clustering phenomena in dense nuclear matter. At intermediate energies, the well known processes of nuclear multifragmentation – the disintegration of bulk nuclear matter in clusters of a wide range of sizes and masses – allow the study of th...
