The Caloric Curve for Mononuclear Configurations
نویسنده
چکیده
The caloric curve for mononuclear configurations is studied with a schematic model. We investigate the dependence of the entropy on the density and effective mass profiles. A plateau in the caloric curve is a direct result of decreasing density and the destruction of correlations with increasing excitation. The mononuclear regime is metastable with respect to binary fission at low excitation energy and unstable with respect to multifragmentation at high excitation. The statistical framework presented here is suitable to treat scenarios where experimental conditions are set to favor population of highly excited mononuclear states.

Caloric curve for mononuclear configurations.
The caloric curve for mononuclear configurations is studied with a schematic model. We investigate the dependence of the entropy on the density and effective-mass profiles. In finite nuclei, a plateau in the caloric curve is a consequence of decreasing density and the destruction of correlations rather than an indication of phase coexistence. The mononuclear regime is metastable with respect to...
متن کاملAsymmetry dependence of the caloric curve for mononuclei
The asymmetry dependence of the caloric curve, for mononuclear configurations, is studied as a function of neutron-to-proton asymmetry with a model that allows for independent variation of the neutron and proton surface diffusenesses. The evolution of the effective mass with density and excitation is included in a schematic fashion and the entropies are extracted in a local density approximatio...
متن کاملEntropy and caloric curve for mononuclei considering both surface diffuseness and self-similar expansion degrees of freedom
The caloric curve for mononuclear configurations is studied with a model that allows for both increased surface diffusness and self-similar expansion. The evolution of the effective mass with density and excitation is included in a schematic fashion. The entropies, extracted in a local-density approximation, confirm that nuclei posess a soft mode that is predominately a surface expansion. We al...
متن کاملMononuclear caloric curve in a mean field model
A mean field model is used to investigate if a plateau in caloric curve can be reached in mononuclear configuration. In the model the configuration will break up into many pieces as the plateau is approached. 25.70.-z,25.70.Mn Typeset using REVTEX 1 The appearence of a plateau in the experimental nuclear caloric curve, since it was pointed out first in [1], has continued to be an important issu...
متن کاملDensity reorganization in hot nuclei
The density profile of a hot nuclear system produced in intermediate-energy heavy ion collisions is studied in a microcanonical formulation with a momentum and density dependent finite range interaction. The caloric curve and density evolution with excitation are calculated for a number of systems for the equilibrium mononuclear configuration; they compare favorably with the recent experimental...
