Pre-Equilibrium Particle Emission and Critical Exponent Analysis

Abstract

In two different phase transition models of nuclear fragmentation we show that the emission of pre-equilibrium particles and mixing of events from different classes cannot be ignored in the analysis of nuclear fragmentation data in terms of critical exponents, and we show how the apparent values of the extracted exponents are affected.
