Phase transitions of small isolated systems are signaled by the shape of the caloric equation of state e∗(T ), the relationship between the excitation energy per nucleon e∗ and temperature. In this work we compare the experimentally deduced e∗(T ) to the theoretical predictions. The experimentally accessible temperature was extracted from evaporation spectra from incomplete fusion reactions lea...

Bertsch Dept. of Physics and Institute for Nuclear Theory, FM-15 University of Washington Seattle, WA 98195 Abstract The interferometric analysis of meson correlations provides a measure of the average phase space density of the mesons in the final state. This quantity is a useful indicator of ...

A model for the fragmentation of a nucleus is developed. Parallels of the description of this process with other areas are shown which include Feynman's theory of the λ transition in liquid Helium, Bose condensation, and Markov process models used in stochastic networks and polymer physics. These parallels are used to generalize and further develop a previous exactly solvable model of nuclear f...
