Comparison of Canonical and Grand Canonical Models for selected multifragmentation data

Nuclear Theory 2009-11-07 v1 Nuclear Experiment

Abstract

Calculations for a set of nuclear multifragmentation data are made using a Canonical and a Grand Canonical Model. The physics assumptions are identical but the Canonical Model has an exact number of particles, whereas, the Grand Canonical Model has a varying number of particles, hence, is less exact. Interesting differences are found.
