Abstract
The technique of microcanonical Metropolis-sampling of multifragmentation is demonstrated by the example of nuclear multi-fragmentation. It is has a good chance to be sufficiently ergodic to find and cover the important part of the phase-space in a realistic CPU time. The numerical results show the peculiar physics of the breaking of a finite many-body system especially near to the liquid to gas transition. The striking differences to the behaviour of conventional macroscopic systems are emphasised.
