Abstract
The fragmentation resulting from peripheral An + Au collisions at an i ncident energy of E = 35 MeV/nucleon is investigated. A power-law char ge distribution, A(-tau) with tau approximate to 2.2, and an intermitt ency signal are observed for events selected in the region of the Camp i scatter plot where ''critical'' behavior is expected.
