Zipf's law in Multifragmentation
Xavier Campi, Hubert Krivine
We discuss the meaning of Zipf's law in nuclear multifragmentation. We remark that Zipf's law is a consequence of a power law fragment size distribution with exponent .…

Partial energies fluctuations and negative heat capacities
Xavier Campi, H. Krivine, E. Plagnol +1
We proceed to a critical examination of the method used in nuclear fragmentation to exhibit signals of negative heat capacity. We show that this method leads to unsatisfactory resu…

A "Little Big Bang" Scenario of Multifragmentation
X. Campi, H. Krivine, E. Plagnol +1
We suggest a multifragmentation scenario in which fragments are produced at an early, high temperature and high density, stage of the reaction. In this scenario, self-bound cluster…
