Critical point multiplicities and multiplicity fluctuations in heavy ion collisions

Nuclear Theory 2009-10-28 v1

Abstract

An exactly solvable model of nuclear fragmentation is shown to lead to a simple connection between the critical point multiplicity mc\langle m \rangle_{c} and the critical point exponent τ\tau recently reported on in the EOS collaboration. The importance of multiplicity fluctuations on critical point behavior is also discussed.
