Role of the experimental filter in obtaining the Arrhenius plot in multifragmentation reactions

Nuclear Experiment 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Recently it has been argued that the linear relation between the transverse energy and the apparent probability to emit a fragment proves that the total system is in thermal equilibrium. It is shown, for a specific reaction Xe+Sn at 50 A.MeV, that the same behavior is obtained in the context of Quantum Molecular Dynamical without invoking the idea of equilibrium. The linear dependance is shown to be a detector effect.
