Abstract

The natural limit of binomial reducibility in nuclear multifrag-mentation is observed in excitation functions for intermediate mass fragments (IMF) of a given element Z. The multiplicity distributions for each window of transverse energy are Poissonian. Thermal scaling is observed in the linear Arrhenius plots constructed from the average multiplicity of each element. “Emission barriers” are extracted from the slopes of the Arrhenius plots and their possible origin is discussed.
