Variation of mean multiplicity of intermediate mass fragments with the bound charge of the fragmenting system-deviation from the universal behaviour

Evidence of phase transition in the break up of Kr-projectile nuclei at 0.95A GeV

“…Details of the experimental technique are given in our earlier publications where we have studied spatial distribution of target fragments in the light of intermittency and multifractality [44][45][46], universal scaling behavior of fast helium fragments [47] and emission characteristics of intermediate mass projectile fragments [48,49]. In this work we have developed a 'toy model' of nuclear multi-fragmentation and examined, using cluster approximation technique, the effect of mass conservation constraint on the traditional signals of critical behavior.…”
