Reducible Emission Probabilities and Thermal Scaling in Multifragmentation

  • Chapter
Advances in Nuclear Dynamics

Abstract

Intermediate-mass-fragment multiplicity distributions for 36Ar + 197Au reactions at intermediate energies are shown to be binomial and thus reducible at all measured transverse energies. From these distributions a single binary event probability can be extracted that has a thermal dependence. A strong thermal signature is also found in the charge distributions. The n-fold charge distributions are reducible to the 1-fold charge distributions through a simple scaling that is dictated by fold number and charge conservation.
