Break-up fragments excitation and the freeze-out volume

2026-07-072026-07-07http://salesiana.dossiersoluciones.com/handle/123456789/96398We investigate, in microcanonical multifragmentation models, the influence of the amount of energy dissipated in break-up fragments excitation on freeze-out volume determination. Assuming a limiting temperature decreasing with nuclear mass, we obtain for the Xe+Sn at 32 MeV/nucleon reaction [J. D. Frankland et al., Nucl. Phys. A689, 905 (2001); A689, 940 (2001)] a freeze-out volume almost half the one deduced using a constant limiting temperature.11 pages, 6 figuresNuclear TheoryBreak-up fragments excitation and the freeze-out volumetext
