Microcanonical simulation of nuclear multifragmentation (open access)

Microcanonical simulation of nuclear multifragmentation

We discuss the formal basis for the theoretical treatment of nuclear multifragmentation within a microcanonical framework. The important role played by highly excited nuclear states and the interfragment forces is illustrated. The requirement of detailed balance is especially discussed and illustrated for the fission-fusion Metropolis moves in configuration space. 13 refs., 2 figs.
