Title: Phase transition in a statistical model for nuclear multifragmentation

Abstract

We use a simplified model which is based on the same physics as inherent in most statistical models for nuclear multifragmentation. The simplified model allows exact calculations for thermodynamic properties of systems of large number of particles. This enables us to study a phase transition in the model. A first order phase transition can be tracked down. There are significant differences between this phase transition and some other well-known cases. {copyright} {ital 1998} {ital The American Physical Society}
