Microcanonical studies concerning the recent experimental evaluations of the nuclear caloric curve

Abstract

The microcanonical multifragmentation model from [Al. H. Raduta and Ad. R. Raduta, Phys. Rev. C 55, 1344 (1997); 56, 2059 (1997); 59, 323 (1999)] is refined and improved by taking into account the experimental discrete levels for fragments with $A\le 6$ and by including the stage of sequential decay of the primary excited fragments. The caloric curve is reevaluated and the heat capacity at constant volume curve is represented as a function of excitation energy and temperature. The sequence of equilibrated sources formed in the reactions studied by the ALADIN group (${}^{197}$Au+${}^{197}$Au at 600, 800 and 1000 MeV/nucleon bombarding energy) is deduced by fitting simultaneously the model predicted mean multiplicity of intermediate mass fragments ($M_{IMF}$) and charge asymmetry of the two largest fragments ($a_{12}$) versus bound charge ($Z_{bound}$) on the corresponding experimental data. Calculated HeLi isotopic temperature curves as a function of the bound charge are compared with the experimentally deduced ones.
