| Abstract: |
The mean multiplicity of intermediate mass fragments
(IMF) <MIMF> produced by fragmentation of Au
projectiles interacting with targets of C, Al, Cu, and Pb at an
incident energy of E/A=600 MeV is compared to predictions of
statistical multifragmentation and sequential evaporation models.
The initial conditions for the calculations were provided by
Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck simulations. In the high excitation
energy regime where the IMF multiplicity reaches its maximum the
observed universal correlation between <MIMF> and
the total charge Zbound of projectile fragments with charges
Z >= 2 cannot be reproduced by a sequential evaporation code.
In this regime the data are better described by statistical decay
calculations which assume the formation of an expanded nuclear
system and a rather fast breakup.
