Density dependence of isospin observables in spinodal decomposition

Isospin fluctuations in spinodal decomposition

Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare, Sezione di Firenze, Via G. Sansone 1, I-50019, Sesto F.no (Firenze), Italy Abstract We study the isospin dynamics in fragment formation within the framework of an analytical model based on the spinodal decomposition scenario. We calculate the probability to obtain fragments with given charge and neutron number, focussing on the derivation of the width of t...

Isospin Observables in Multifragmentation of Relativistic Projectiles

Multifragmentation is a universal phenomenon occurring when a large amount of energy is deposited in a nucleus. It was observed in high energy nuclear reactions induced by hadrons and heavy ions. It is believed to be a manifestation of the nuclear liquid-gas phase transition which is also expected to occur in crusts of neutron stars and in supernova explosions. This reaction offers a unique pos...

Dynamical density functional theory and its application to spinodal decomposition.

We present an alternative derivation of the dynamical density functional theory for the one-body density profile of a classical fluid developed by Marconi and Tarazona [J. Chem. Phys. 110, 8032 (1999)]. Our derivation elucidates further some of the physical assumptions inherent in the theory and shows that it is not restricted to fluids composed of particles interacting solely via pair potentia...
