Spinodal instabilities within BUU approach

Abstract

Using a recently developed method for the inclusion of fluctuation in the BUU dynamics, we study the self-consistent propagation of inherent thermal noise of unstable nuclear matter. The large time behaviour of the evolving system exhibits synergism between fluctuation and non-linearities in a universal manner which manifest in the appearance of macroscopic structure in the average description.
