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…
Charge balance functions, which identify balancing particle-antiparticle pairs on a statistical basis, have been shown to be sensitive to whether hadronization is delayed by several fm/c in relativistic heavy ion collisions. Results from…
