Finite size effects in isobaric ratios
arXiv:1112.3631 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevC.85.024603
Abstract
The properties of isobaric ratios, between nuclei produced in the same reaction, are investigated using the canonical and grand-canonical statistical ensembles. Although the grand-canonical for- mulae furnish a means to correlate the ratios with the liquid drop parameters, finite size effects make it difficult to obtain their actual values from fitting nuclear collision data.
