Isoscaling and the high Temperature limit

Nuclear Theory 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

This study shows that isoscaling, usually studied in nuclear reactions, is a phenomenon common to all cases of fair sampling. Exact expressions for the yield ratio R21R_{21} and approximate expressions for the isoscaling parameters α\alpha and β\beta are obtained and compared to experimental results. It is concluded that nuclear isoscaling is bound to contain a component due to sampling and, thus, a words of caution is issued to those interested in extracting information about the nuclear equation of state from isoscaling.
