Critical point multiplicities and multiplicity fluctuations in heavy ion collisions

Abstract

An exactly solvable model of nuclear fragmentation is shown to lead to a simple connection between the critical point multiplicity $⟨m{⟩}_c$ and the critical point exponent $\tau$ recently reported on in the EOS collaboration. The importance of multiplicity fluctuations on critical point behavior is also discussed.
