Exact Solution of the Statistical Multifragmentation Model and Liquid-Gas Phase Transition in Nuclear Matter
arXiv:nucl-th/0007062
Abstract
An exact analytical solution of the statistical multifragmentation model is found in thermodynamic limit. The system of nuclear fragments exhibits a 1-st order liquid-gas phase transition. The peculiar thermodynamic properties of the model near the boundary between the mixed phase and the pure gaseous phase are studied.
