Zipf's law in Multifragmentation
arXiv:cond-mat/0508541 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevC.72.057602
Abstract
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 . We also recall why the presence of such distribution is not a reliable signal of a liquid-gas phase transition.
