Abstract
We show that the fragment partitions and kinematic characteristics of fragm ents can change in the presence of an external Coulomb field at statistical multifragmentation of highly excited nuclei. There are indications that th is effect takes place at intermediate energy peripheral nucleus-nucleus col lisions. The phenomenon has general importance for understanding disintegra tion processes affected by long-range forces. [S0556-2813(99)02106-8].
