Thermal Multifragmentation of Hot Nuclei and Liquid-Fog Phase Transition *

Abstract The mechanism of formation of residual nuclei in the mass region 42≤A≤81 in the reactions of protons with separated tin isotopes at three protons energies 0.66, 1.0 and 8.1 GeV was investigated. The absolute cross-sections of the residual nuclei were compared with the theoretical ones calculated by the standard cascade-evaporation and the intranuclear cascad plus statistical multifragmentation models (INC + SMM). It was shown that at E p =8.1 GeV these nuclei may arise both from disintegration of the nucleus and as partners of several fragments.

Production of light nuclei in the reactions of protons with separated tin isotopes

Abstract 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 with in the statistical multifragmentation model with the critical temperature for the nuclear liquid-gas phase transition T c as a free parameter. The analysis presented here provides strong support for a value of T c > 15MeV.

Liquid-fog and liquid-gas phase transitions in hot nuclei

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. It is concluded that the decay process of hot nuclei is characterized by two size parameters: one density at the transition state and one at the kinetic freeze-out. The similarity between the dynamics of fragmentation and ordinary fission is discussed. The IMF emission time is related to the mean rupture time at the multiscission point, which corresponds to the kinetic freeze-out configuration.
