Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, a general procedure to identify instability regions which lead to multifragmentation events in heavy ion collisions is presented, which covers all possible sources of dynamical instabilities, and information on the instability point, like the time when the nuclear system entters the critical region, the most unstable modes and the time constant of the exponential growing of the relative variances, are deduced without any numerical bias.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that the nuclear system enters a dynamical instability region and fragments are directly produced from the growing of fluctuations, and some hints towards a fully dynamical description of fragment production are finally discussed.
