Liquid-gas Phase Transition in Nuclear Multifragmentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The equation of state of nuclear matter suggests that at suitable beam energies the disassembling hot system formed in heavy ion collisions will pass through a liquid-gas coexistence region. Searching for the signatures of the phase transition has been a very important focal point of experimental endeavours in heavy-ion collisions, in the last fifteen years. Simultaneously theoretical models have been developed to provide information about the equation of state and reaction mechanisms consistent with the experimental observables. This article is a review of this endeavour. Typeset using REVTEX

Statistical Multifragmentation in Thermodynamic Limit
An exact analytical solution of the statistical multifragmentation model is found in thermodynamic limit. The model exhibits a 1-st order phase transition of the liquid-gas type. The mixed phase region of the phase diagram, where the gas of nuclear fragments coexists with the infinite liquid condensate, is unambiguously identified. The peculiar thermodynamic properties of the model near the bou...
متن کاملNuclear liquid-gas phase transition within the lattice gas model
We study the nuclear liquid-gas phase transition on the basis of a two-component lattice gas model. A Metropolis type of sampling method is used to generate microscopic states in the canonical ensemble. The effective equation of state and fragment mass distributions are evaluated in a wide range of temperatures and densities. A definition of the phase coexistence region appropriate for mesoscop...
متن کامل2 3 A ug 2 00 5 Zipf ’ s law in Multifragmentation
We discuss the meaning of Zipf’s law in nuclear multifragmentation. We remark that Zipf’s law is a consequence of a power law fragment size distribution with exponent τ ≃ 2. We also recall why the presence of such distribution is not a reliable signal of a liquid-gas phase transition. PACS number(s): 25.70.Pq, 05.70.Jk, 64.60.Ak The search for reliable signatures of the liquid-gas phase transit...
متن کاملLiquid-gas phase transition in the canonical ensemble of asymmetric nuclear matter
New calculus of the liquid-gas phase transition is developed for the canonical ensemble of asymmetric nuclear matter. In contrast to the familiar geometrical construction, the pressure and the chemical potentials are determined for de nite values of the baryon densities of proton and neutron and the temperature. Because the derivatives of chemical potentials by pressure have discontinuities at ...
متن کاملCritical phenomena of strange hadronic matter in the extended Zimanyi-Moszkowski model
We have studied the liquid-gas phase transition of warm strange hadronic matter (SHM) in the extended Zimanyi-Moszkowski model. We implement the Nijmegen soft-core potential model NSC97f of hyperon-hyperon interactions in terms of the (hidden) strange mesons. The saturation properties of pure and matter by the potential essentially determine the dependence of the critical temperature on the str...
متن کاملCritical phenomena of asymmetric nuclear matter in the extended Zimanyi-Moszkowski model
We have studied the liquid-gas phase transition of warm asymmetric nuclear matter in the extended Zimanyi-Moszkowski model. The three sets of the isovectormeson coupling constants are used. It is found that the critical temperature depends only on the di¤erence of the symmetry energy but not on the di¤erences of each isovector coupling constant. We treat the asymmetric nuclear matter as one-com...
