Thermal Emission of Intermediate Mass Fragments and the Liquid-Vapor Phase Transition
Abstract
We study the origin of anomalous caloric curves and negative heat capacities in the liquid-gas coexistence region. Coexistence is described in terms of clusterization in the vapor according to Fisher's formula. Multifragmentation data are used to determine the liquid-vapor coexistence line. The phase diagram is obtained for the finite system and an extrapolation is made to infinite nuclear matter.
