The prominent role of the heaviest fragment in multifragmentation and phase transition for hot nuclei
arXiv:1003.4115 · doi:10.1142/S0218301310015928
Abstract
The role played by the heaviest fragment in partitions of multifragmenting hot nuclei is emphasized. Its size/charge distribution (mean value, fluctuations and shape) gives information on properties of fragmenting nuclei and on the associated phase transition.
