Circumstantial Evidence for a Critical Behavior in Peripheral Au + Au Collisions at 35 MeV/nucleon
arXiv:nucl-ex/9512001 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.76.2646
Abstract
The fragmentation resulting from peripheral Au + Au collisions at an incident energy of E = 35 MeV/nucleon is investigated. A power-law charge distribution, $A^{-Ï}$ with $Ï\approx 2.2$, and an intermittency signal are observed for events selected in the region of the Campi scatter plot where "critical" behavior is expected.
