By using the Boltzmann-Langevin equation, which incorporates dynamical fluctuations beyond usual transport theories, we simulate the {sup 40}Ca+{sup 40}Ca reaction system at different beam energies 20, 60, and 90 MeV/nucleon for different impact parameters. Dynamical fluctuations become larger and larger with increasing bombarding energy and the system can reach densities corresponding to the unstable region of the nuclear matter equation of state at energies above 60 MeV/nucleon. By coupling the Boltzmann-Langevin equation with a coalescence model in the late stages of the reaction, we obtain the distribution of the intermediate mass fragments in each event. From the correlation analysis of these fragments, we recover some trends of recent multifragmentation data. A critical behavior analysis is also provided.
