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
