TL;DR: In this paper, the INDRA multidetector was used to study multifragmentation processes in central collisions for the Xe + Sn reaction at 50 A MeV, and the fragment kinetic energy spectra indicated a fast disintegration of the system with a radial collective motion of about 2 A MEV.

TL;DR: In this paper, a charge and current sensitive preamplifier coupled to silicon detectors and devoted to studies in nuclear structure and dynamics has been developed and tested for the first time shapes of current pulses from light charged particles and carbon ions.
Abstract: New charge- and current-sensitive preamplifiers coupled to silicon detectors and devoted to studies in nuclear structure and dynamics have been developed and tested. For the first time shapes of current pulses from light charged particles and carbon ions are presented. Capabilities for pulse shape discrimination techniques are demonstrated.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of spinodal multifragmentation in nuclear physics is presented, where the authors discuss the intimate relationship between first-order phase transition and convexity anomalies in the thermodynamic potentials, clarify the relationship between mechanical and chemical instability in two-component systems, and also address finite systems.

Abstract: An evaluation of A = 16{17 was published in Nuclear Physics A565 (1993), p. 1. This version of A = 16 diers from the published version in that we have corrected some errors discovered after the article went to press. It has also been slightly revised as of May 16 ,200 0t oinclud ehyperlink sfo rreference san dtables. Introductor ytables have been omitted from this manuscript. Also, Reference key numbers have been changed to the NNDC/TUNL format.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview of collective flow phenomena observed in heavy ion collisions from the Fermi energy range up to CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) energies.
Abstract: ▪ Abstract We provide an overview of collective flow phenomena observed in heavy ion collisions from the Fermi energy range up to CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) energies. We summarize the experimental data in terms of the various observed aspects of flow, namely directed flow in the reaction plane, elliptic flow in- and out-of-plane, and azimuthally symmetric radial flow originating from the expansion of the hot and compressed reaction zone. Also reviewed are the theoretical concepts developed to simulate the complex reactions with the aim of extracting fundamental properties of hot and compressed nuclear matter.

TL;DR: In this paper, data from a number of different experimental measurements are used to construct caloric curves for five different regions of nuclear mass, and these curves are qualitatively similar and exhibit plateaus at the higher excitation energies.
Abstract: Data from a number of different experimental measurements are used to construct caloric curves for five different regions of nuclear mass. These curves are qualitatively similar, and exhibit plateaus at the higher excitation energies. The limiting temperatures represented by the plateaus decrease with increasing nuclear mass, and are in very good agreement with results of recent calculations employing either a chiral symmetry model or the Gogny interaction. This agreement strongly favors a soft equation of state. Evidence is presented which suggests that critical excitation energies and critical temperatures might be determined from caloric curve measurements when the mass variations inherent in such measurements are taken into account.
