Nuclear multifragmentation as a branching cascade
Abstract
Analytic branching cascade is considered as a model of nuclear multifragmentation and corresponding stretched lognormal distribution of fragments size is compared with experimental data obtained in nuclear emulsion. Branching dimension of the cascade corresponding to these data is found to be equal to 3. It is also shown that the same branching dimension can be extracted from the data on the branching cascades in turbulence, while for multiparticle production at high energy heavy ion collisions the branching dimension turned out to be equal to 2.
