Analyzing Fragmentation of Simple Fluids with Percolation Theory

Statistical Mechanics 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

We show that the size distributions of fragments created by high energy nuclear collisions are remarkably well reproduced within the framework of a parameter free percolation model. We discuss two possible scenarios to explain this agreement and suggest that percolation could be an universal mechanism to explain the fragmentation of simple fluids.
