A model for the fragmentation of a nucleus is developed. Parallels of the description of this process with other areas are shown which include Feynman's theory of the λ transition in liquid Helium, Bose condensation, and Markov process models used in stochastic networks and polymer physics. These parallels are used to generalize and further develop a previous exactly solvable model of nuclear fragmentation. An analysis of some experimental data is given.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
