Multifragmentation and nuclear phase transitions (liquid-fog and liquid-gas)
Thermal multifragmentation of hot nuclei is interpreted as the nuclear
liquid-fog phase transition. The charge distributions of the intermediate mass
fragments produced in p(3.6 GeV) + Au and p(8.1 GeV) + Au collisions are
analyzed within the statistical multifragmentation model with the critical
temperature for the nuclear liquid-gas phase transition Tc as a free parameter.
The analysis presented here provides strong support for a value of Tc > 15 MeV.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, Submittet to Proc. of NN2003 to be published in

Multifragmentation in Collisions of 4.4gev-Deuterons with Gold Target
The relative velocity correlation function of pairs of intermediate mass
fragments has been studied for d+Au collitions at 4.4 GeV. Experimental
correlation functions are compared to that obtained by multibody Coulomb
trajectory calculations under the assumption of various decay timees of the
fragmenting system. The combined approach with the empirically modified
intranuclear cascade code followed by the statistical multifragmentation model
was used to generate the starting conditions for these calculations. The
fragment emossion time is found to be less than 40 fm/c.Comment: Accepted for publication in Bulletin of the Russian Academy of

Spinodal decomposition, nuclear fog and two characteristic volumes in thermal multifragmentation
Thermal multifragmentation of hot nuclei is interpreted as the nuclear
liquid-fog phase transition inside the spinodal region. The experimental data
for p(8.1GeV) + Au collisions are analyzed within the framework of the
statistical multifragmentation model (SMM) for the events with emission of at
least two IMFs. It is found that the partition of hot nuclei is specified after
expansion to a volume equal to Vt = (2.6+-0.3) Vo, with Vo as the volume at
normal density. However, the freeze-out volume is found to be twice as large:
Vf = (5+-1) Vo.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures, to be published in Nucl.Phys.
Critical temperature for the nuclear liquid-gas phase transition (from multifragmentation and fission)
Critical temperature Tc for the nuclear liquid-gas phase transition is
stimated both from the multifragmentation and fission data. In the first
case,the critical temperature is obtained by analysis of the IMF yields in
p(8.1 GeV)+Au collisions within the statistical model of multifragmentation
(SMM). In the second case, the experimental fission probability for excited
188Os is compared with the calculated one with Tc as a free parameter. It is
concluded for both cases that the critical temperature is higher than 16 MeV.Comment: 15 pages, 8 figure
Nuclear multifragmentation and fission: similarity and differences
Thermal multifragmentation of hot nuclei is interpreted as the nuclear
liquid--fog phase transition deep inside the spinodal region. The experimental
data for p(8.1GeV) + Au collisions are analyzed. It is concluded that the decay
process of hot nuclei is characterized by two size parameters: transition state
and freeze-out volumes. The similarity between dynamics of fragmentation and
ordinary fission is discussed. The IMF emission time is related to the mean
rupture time at the multi-scission point, which corresponds to the kinetic
freeze-out configuration.Comment: 7 pages, 3 Postscript figures, Proceedings of IWM 2005, Catani

Thermal multifragmentation in p + Au interactions at 2.16, 3.6 and 8.1 GeV incident energies
Multiple emission of intermediate-mass fragments has been studied for the collisions p + Au at 2.16, 3.6 and 8.1 GeV with the FASA setup. The mean IMF multiplicities for events with at least one IMF are equal to 1.7, 1.9 and 2.1 (±0.2) respectively. The multiplicity, charge distributions and kinetic energy spectra of IMF are described in the framework of a intranuclear cascade model followed by the statistical multifragmentation model. However, between the two parts of the calculation the excitation energies and the residual masses and charges are modified to take into account the losses during expansion. The results support a scenario of true thermal multifragmentation of a hot and expanded target spectator
Comparative Study of Multifragmentation of Gold Nuclei Induced by Relativistic Protons, He, and C
Multiple emission of intermediate-mass fragments has been studied for the
collisions of p, He and C on Au with the setup FASA. The mean
IMF multiplicities (for the events with at least one IMF) are saturating at the
value of for the incident energies above 6 GeV. The observed IMF
multiplicities cannot be described in a two-stage scenario, a fast cascade
followed by a statistical multifragmentation. Agreement with the measured IMF
multiplicities is obtained by introducing an intermediate phase and modifying
empirically the excitation energies and masses of the remnants.
The angular distributions and energy spectra from the p-induced collisions
are in agreement with the scenario of ``thermal'' multifragmentation of a hot
and diluted target spectator. In the case of C+Au(22.4 GeV) and
He(14.6 GeV)+Au collisions, deviations from a pure thermal break-up are
seen in the energy spectra of the emitted fragments, which are harder than
those both from model calculations and from the measured ones for p-induced
collisions. This difference is attributed to a collective flow.Comment: 33 pages 15 figures, accepted in Nucl. Phys.
