TLDR
In this paper, the complete charge distribution of products from Au nuclei fragmenting in nuclear emulsion at 10.7A GeV has been measured and a statistical analysis, based on event-by-event charge distributions, showed that a population of subcritical, critical and supercritical events, i.e., a phase transition like behaviour, is observed among peripheral collisions.
Abstract
The complete charge distribution of products from Au nuclei fragmenting in nuclear emulsion at 10.7A GeV has been measured. Multiplicities of produced particles and particles associated with the target source are used to select peripheral and central events. A statistical analysis, based on event-by-event charge distributions, show that a population of subcritical, critical and supercritical events, i.e. a phase transition like behaviour, is observed among peripheral collisions.

Multiple fast helium fragments production from 28Si-emulsion interaction at 14.6 A GeV

TL;DR: In this paper, partial production cross-sections of the multiple helium fragments emitted at 14.6 A GeV 28Si-emulsion interactions are reported and the production rate of helium fragments due to fragmentation of 28Si ions is studied and compared with that obtained from different projectiles at various energies.

Target size dependence of relativistic hadron emission from 32S nuclear collisions at 3.7 and 200A GeV

TL;DR: In this article, the relativistic hadron multiplicity for 32S-nucleus interactions was investigated at 3.7 and 200A GeV (Dubna energy) and SPS energy, respectively, to search for the incident energy effect on the interactions inside the different emulsion target nuclei.

Central collisions induced by light target nuclei

TL;DR: For the interactions of p, 3He, 4He, 6Li, and 6Li with emulsion at 45 A GeV/c, an experimental study has been performed as discussed by the authors, where the type of interactions chosen was central, which enables to analyze a specific interaction mechanism.

Critical exponents and phase transition in gold nuclei fragmentation at energies 10.6 and4.0GeV∕nucleon

TL;DR: In this paper, critical exponents for gold nuclei fragmentation due to interactions with nuclear emulsion at energies $4.0A\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\text{GeV}$ were extracted.

Fluctuations of fragment observables

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the theoretical and experimental knowledge of different fluctuation observables relevant to nuclear multifragmentation is presented, and the possible connection between the presence of a fluctuation peak and the occurrence of a phase transition or a critical phenomenon is critically analyzed.

Introduction to percolation theory

TL;DR: In this paper, a scaling solution for the Bethe lattice is proposed for cluster numbers and a scaling assumption for cluster number scaling assumptions for cluster radius and fractal dimension is proposed.
