Isospin e ffects on multifragmentation properties were studied thanks to nuclear collisions between di fferent isotopes of xenon beams and tin targets. It is shown that, in central collisions leading to multifragmentation, the mean number…

In random percolation one finds that the mean field regime above the upper critical dimension can simply be explained through the coexistence of infinite percolating clusters at the critical point. Because of the mapping between percolation…
The origin and dynamical evolution of isoscaling was studied using classical molecular dynamics simulations of ${}^{40}$Ca + ${}^{40}$Ca, ${}^{48}$Ca + ${}^{48}$Ca, and ${}^{52}$Ca + ${}^{52}$Ca, at beam energies ranging from $20 \ MeV/A$…
The variations of short-range correlations (SRC) across nuclei can be quantified in an approximately model-independent fashion in terms of the so-called SRC scaling factors. We provide predictions for the SRC scaling factors for both bound…

The isoscaling parameter usually denoted by $\alpha$ depends upon both the symmetry energy coefficient and the isotopic contents of the dissociating systems. We compute $\alpha$ in theoretical models: first in a simple mean field model and…
We simulate the central reactions of nearly symmetric, and asymmetric systems, for the energies at which the maximum production of IMFs occurs (E$_{c.m.}^{peak}$).This study is carried out by using hard EOS along with cugnon cross section…
In this paper, we investigate the multiplicity fluctuations of charged particles observed in high-energy nuclear collisions and relate them to the size of hadronizing systems which happen during such processes. We use the average…

Recently, the fragment yield ratios were investigated in the fission of 238,233U targets induced by 14 MeV neutrons [1]. The effect of the deformed shell structure around N=64 on the dynamics of scission was suggested as an explanation of…
Medium modifications of parton fragmentation provide a novel tomographic tool for the study of the hot and dense matter created in ultrarelativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions. Their quantitative analysis, however, is complicated by the…
We present a new method for the calculation of fragment size correlations in a discrete finite system in which correlations explicitly due to the finite extent of the system are suppressed. To this end, we introduce a combinatorial model,…
We consider the behaviour of a critical system in the presence of a gradient perturbation of the couplings. In the direction of the gradient an interface region separates the ordered phase from the disordered one. We develop a scaling…
In multifragmentation of hot nuclear matter, properties of fragments embedded in a soup of nucleonic gas and other fragments should be modified as compared with isolated nuclei. Such modifications are studied within a simple model where…
We investigate properties of the symmetry term in the equation-of-state (EOS) of nuclear matter (NM) from the analysis of simulations of fragmentation events in intermediate energy heavy ion collisions. For charge asymmetric systems a…
The nature of octupole deformation, whether static or vibrational, remains an open question in nuclear physics. Here, we propose a scaling approach to probe this ambiguity by triangular flow fluctuations using multi-particle cumulants,…
