Precise Barriers and Shell Effects: a New Inroad to Fission Saddle Point Spectroscopy

L. Phair, L. G. Moretto, K. X. Jing +6

Fission excitation functions have been measured for a chain of neighboring compound nuclei, from 207Po to 212Po. We present a new analysis which provides a determination of the fis…

Comment on ``Entry Distribution, Fission Barrier, and Formation Mechanism of 254No''

L. G. Moretto, L. Phair, G. J. Wozniak

A recent paper has reported the observation of the rotational band of 254No for spins up to I=20, showing that the compound nucleus was formed and survived fission decay at angular…

Liquid-vapor phase transition in nuclei or compound nucleus decay?

L. G. Moretto, J. B. Elliott, L. Phair +1

Recent analyses of multifragmentation in terms of Fisher's model and the related construction of a phase diagram brings forth the problem of the true existence of the vapor phase a…

Negative heat capacities and first order phase transitions in nuclei and other mesoscopic systems

L. G. Moretto, J. B. Elliott, L. Phair +1

The origin of predicted and observed anomalies in caloric curves of nuclei and other mesoscopic systems is investigated. It is shown that a straightforward thermodynamical treatmen…

Multifragmentation at Intermediate Energy: Dynamics or Statistics?

L. Beaulieu, L. Phair, L. G. Moretto +1

To make a statement about the nature and mechanism of fragmentation, it is necessary to probe directly any competition, or lack thereof, between the emission of various particle sp…

Reduciblity, Arrhenius plots and the Uroboros Dragon, a reply to the preprint "Correlations in Nuclear Arrhenius-Type Plots" by M.B. Tsang and P. Danielewicz

L. G. Moretto, L. Beaulieu, L. Phair +1

In a recent preprint by Tsang and Danielewicz, the authors attempt to give alternative or trivial explanations for the reducible and "thermal" nature of the intermediate mass fragm…
