Abstract
Investigations of reaction dynamics1 and of the statistical properties of hot nuclear systems are both significantly influenced by uncertainties in the fragment production mechanism. For studies of hot systems, complex fragment emission is of particular interest since it could provide important clues about the properties of highly excited nuclear matter, such as the occurence on adiabatic instabilities related to the liquid-gas phase transition of nuclear matter. To distinguish between the many models for fragment production, one must assess whether the process proceeds through a binary or multifragment mechanism and determine the excitation energy, density and degree of thermalization which prevail as the system proceeds from breakup to thermal freezeout.
