Abstract
The temperature and density regions where the nuclear liquid-gas phase transition is expected to occur are reviewed. By means of numerical simulations of the reaction trajectories of both proton and heavy ion induced reaction it is shown that the mechanical instability region should be easily accessible. The change in entropy expected in crossing the isentropic spinodal at low initial entropy per nucleon is estimated and shown to be in agreement with that observed experimentally.
