Abstract

We review the recent results on the multi-fragment decay of heated nuclear systems that are formed in asymmetric heavy-ion collisions. Particular emphasis is placed on those observables that are sensitive to the fluctuations in the decaying system and their possible role in extracting the physics of phase transitions in nuclear systems.
