Nuclear multifragmentation along the liquid-vapor univariant equilibrium line and beyond

Reducibility (stochasticity in multiplicity distributions) and thermal scal ing (one fragment emission probabilities are Boltzmann factors) are empiric al features of nuclear multifragmentation shared by the Fisher Droplet Mode l and by percolation. A new scaling feature (1/Z scaling) of the mt paramet er of the binomial distribution shows that the fragmentation space is unifo rmly explored and leads to a determination of the source size.
