An experimental measurement of the coexistence curve and critical temperature, density and pressure of bulk nuclear matter

J. B. Elliott, P. T. Lake, L. G. Moretto +1

Infinite, neutron-proton symmetric, neutral nuclear matter has a critical temperature of 17.9+-0.4 MeV, a critical density of 0.06+-0.01 nucleons per cubic fermi and a critical pre…

Compaction dynamics of metallic nano-foams: A hydrodynamics simulation study

J. B. Elliott, M. A. Duchaineau, T. Dittrich +3

The compression of a low-density copper foam was simulated with a radiation, hydrodynamics code. In one simulation, the foam had a density of g/cm, 15% the densi…

Compaction dynamics of metallic nano-foams: A molecular dynamics simulation study

M. A. Duchaineau, J. B. Elliott, A. V. Hamza +3

We investigate, by molecular dynamics simulation, the generic features associated with the dynamic compaction of metallic nano-foams at very high strain rates. A universal feature…

Can a Hagedorn system have a temperature other than or can a thermostat have a temperature other than its own?

L. G. Moretto, K. A. Bugaev, J. B. Elliott +1

This is a note intended to complement our paper (nucl-th/0504010) and addressed to the attention of QGP workers interested in bag models, Hagedorn spectra, and the like. It tries t…

The Quark-Gluon Plasma: a Perfect Thermostat and a Perfect Particle Reservoir

L. G. Moretto, K. A. Bugaev, J. B. Elliott +1

A system H with a Hagedorn-like mass spectrum imparts its unique temperature T_H to any other system coupled to it. An H system radiates particles in preexisting physical and chemi…

Compound nuclear decay and the liquid to vapor phase transition: a physical picture

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

Analyses of multifragmentation in terms of the Fisher droplet model (FDM) and the associated construction of a nuclear phase diagram bring forth the problem of the actual existence…
