Abstract

A model of proton-induced multi-fragmentation reactions based on percolation theory is described and applied to experimental data. With only the simplest of assumptions the essential features of the mass-yield curves, such as their U-shape and their power-law dependence for low-to-medium masses, are reproduced. However, the model is, as will be demonstrated, flexible enough to allow for the inclusion of different physical mechanisms. The fits to mass-yield data are then quantitative over the whole mass range. The connection with real physics is made and some relevant experiments are suggested.

      In order to explore the behavior of isoscaling we use a three-dimensional bond percolation model. This model was first applied in nuclear multifragmentation by Bauer et al. [13] and used by many groups [14–17] ever since. In the usual bond percolation model, a fragmenting nucleus is represented by a three-dimensional cubic lattice, and individual “nucleons” by nodes on the lattice.
