Abstract
The study of liquid gas phase transition in fragmentation of nuclei in heavy ion collisions has been extended to the strangeness sector using the statistical model for multifragmentation. Helmholtz's free energy, specific heat and few other thermodynamic observables have been analyzed in order to examine the occurence of phase transition in the strange matter. The bimodal behaviour of the largest cluster formed in fragmentation also strongly indicates coexistence of both the phases. The presence of hyperons strengthens the signals and also shifts the transition temperature to lower values.
