Hot fragmentation of nuclei
Today, we have a variety of reactions at hand that can be used to
multi-fragment nuclei. In many of these reactions even several sources of
fragments can be discerned and characterized.
There is overwhelming evidence that these sources of fragments are hot. It is
already less clear whether heat by itself is sufficient to initiate the
fragment decay. What causes fragmentation, and when and how are the fragments
(pre)formed? These questions have remained as much a challenge as the
complementary class of questions to which they are related: What observations
derive their significance from the liquid-gas phase behavior of extended
nuclear matter? And, can we observe a phase transition in finite nuclei?
Recent developments, largely coming from complex analyses of data sets
measured in 4-pi-type experiments as well as from calculations based on
advanced theoretical concepts, will be discussed.Comment: 13 pages, with 8 included figures; To appear in the proceedings of

Isometry and Automorphisms of Constant Dimension Codes
We define linear and semilinear isometry for general subspace codes, used for
random network coding. Furthermore, some results on isometry classes and
automorphism groups of known constant dimension code constructions are derived
Message Encoding for Spread and Orbit Codes
Spread codes and orbit codes are special families of constant dimension
subspace codes. These codes have been well-studied for their error correction
capability and transmission rate, but the question of how to encode messages
has not been investigated. In this work we show how the message space can be
chosen for a given code and how message en- and decoding can be done.Comment: Submitted to IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory 201
Pl\"ucker Embedding of Cyclic Orbit Codes
Cyclic orbit codes are a family of constant dimension codes used for random
network coding. We investigate the Pl\"ucker embedding of these codes and show
how to efficiently compute the Grassmann coordinates of the code words.Comment: to appear in Proceedings of the 20th International Symposium on

Thermodynamic Variables from Spectator Decay
New results for the masses, excitation energies, temperatures, and densities
of excited spectator systems at breakup are presented. They were obtained in
two recent experiments with the ALADIN spectrometer at SIS in which reactions
of Au-197 on Au-197 in the regime of relativistic energies up to 1 GeV per
nucleon were studied. The methods used to extract these thermodynamic variables
are discussed.Comment: 17 pages, TeX with 10 included figures; To appear in the proceedings
