Abstract
Using a recently developed multicoincidence technique, the hydrogen cl uster fragmentation resulting from a collision between a high energy H -25(+) ion with a C-60 target is investigated on an event-by-event bas is. For a sample of 6000 collisions, statistical methods (conditional moments, scaled factorial moments) are applied to these data sets. The results obtained provide strong experimental evidence for the presenc e of a critical behavior in these finite systems. [S0031-9007(98)07568 -1].
