Abstract
In recent years, multifragmentation of nuclear systems has been extensively studied, and many efforts have been made to clarify the underlying physics[1]. However, no clear consensus exists on the mechanism for multifragmentation. Is the emission of intermediate mass fragments (IMF: 3 < Z > 20) a dynamical process (brought on by the occurrence of instabilities of one form or another) or a statistical process (i.e. the decay probabilities are proportional to a suitably defined exit channel phase space)?
