Bimodality: a possible experimental signature of the liquid-gas phase transition of nuclear matter
M. Pichon, B. Tamain, R. Bougault +2
We have observed a bimodal behaviour of the distribution of the asymmetry between the charges of the two heaviest products resulting from the decay of the quasi-projectile released…
Correlations between signals of the liquid-gas phase transition in nuclei
Marie-France Rivet, N. Le Neindre, J. P. Wieleczko +9
Finite systems such as atomic nuclei present at phase transition specific features different from those observed at the thermodynamic limit. Several characteristic signals were fou…
Model-independent tracking of criticality signals in nuclear multifragmentation data
J. D. Frankland, A. Chbihi, A. Mignon +41
We look for signals of criticality in multifragment production in heavy-ion collisions using model-independent universal fluctuations theory. The phenomenon is studied as a functio…
Liquid-gas phase transition in hot nuclei studied with INDRA
B. Borderie, R. Bougault, P. Desesquelles +11
Thanks to the high detection quality of the INDRA array, signatures related to the dynamics (spinodal decomposition) and thermodynamics (negative microcanonical heat capacity) of a…
