Circumstantial evidence for critical behavior in peripheral {ital A}{ital u}{bold +}{ital A}{ital u} collisions at 35 MeV/nucleon

Journal Article · · Physical Review Letters
The fragmentation resulting from peripheral Au + Au collisions at an incident energy of {ital E}=35 MeV/nucleon is investigated. A power-law charge distribution, {ital A}{sup {minus}{tau}} with {tau}{approx_equal}2.2, and an intermittency signal are observed for events selected in the region of the Campi scatter plot where {open_quote}{open_quote}critical{close_quote}{close_quote} behavior is expected. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
