The resistible effects of Coulomb interaction on nucleus-vapor phase coexistence
L. G. Moretto, J. B. Elliott, L. Phair
We explore the effects of Coulomb interaction upon the nuclear liquid vapor phase transition. Because large nuclei (A>60) are metastable objects, phases, phase coexistence, and pha…
Cnstructing the phase diagram of finite neutral nuclear matter
J. B. Elliott, L. G. Moretto, L. Phair +2
The fragment yields from the multifragmentation of gold, lanthanum and krypton nuclei obtained by the EOS Collaboration are examined in terms of Fisher's droplet formalism modifed…
The three-dimensional Ising model: A paradigm of liquid-vapor coexistence in nuclear multifragmentation
C. M. Mader, A. Chappars, J. B. Elliott +3
Clusters in the three-dimensional Ising model rigorously obey reducibility and thermal scaling up to the critical temperature. The barriers extracted from Arrhenius plots depend on…
Nuclear multifragmentation, percolation and the Fisher Droplet Model: common features of reducibility and thermal scaling
J. B. Elliott, L. G. Moretto, L. Phair +2
It is shown that the Fisher Droplet Model (FDM), percolation and nuclear multifragmentation share the common features of reducibility (stochasticity in multiplicity distributions)…
Statistical Exploration of Fragmentation Phase Space Source Sizes in Nuclear Multifragmentation
L. G. Moretto, L. Beaulieu, L. Phair +1
The multiplicity distributions for individual fragment Z values in nuclear multifragmentation are binomial. The extracted maximum value of the multiplicity is found to depend on Z…
