Size Matters: Origin of Binomial Scaling in Nuclear Fragmentation Experiments
arXiv:nucl-th/9808068 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevC.59.2695
Abstract
The relationship between measured transverse energy, total charge recovered in the detector, and size of the emitting system is investigated. Using only very simple assumptions, we are able to reproduce the observed binomial emission probabilities and their dependences on the transverse energy.
