Abstract

We describe our Metropolis Monte Carlo computer code for the microcanonical calculation of the fragmentation of a hot nucleus. It is applicable for nuclei with excitation energies on the order of 1–20 MeV per nucleon, such as might be created in intermediate-energy heavy-ion collisions. The code creates complete, individual events in which both energy and mass are exactly conserved, and will write the individual events as well as perform analyses. The events are created by sampling the phase space available to the fragmenting nucleus, visiting each cell in phase space in proportion to its statistical weight.
