  21. (*) Zliq= sum of Z>2, Zgas= sum of Z<=2 (**) Zliq= sum of Z>12, Zgas= sum of Z<=12 Bimodalities: general overview of experimental data Amax: a better order parameter ? LOPEZ/RIVET, WCI3 Town Meeting, College Station (Texas) February, 12-17 2005

  22. In experiments, we never observe a bimodality of Amax, but for some asymmetry parameter (Aasym, Z1-Z2, …) , Why ? LOPEZ/RIVET, WCI3 Town Meeting, College Station (Texas) February, 12-17 2005

  23. Event sorting is not enough canonical ? Heat Bath β = βtr No Heat Bath E  Etr = (SA30- SA2-30)/As Lattice-gas F. Gulminelli Bimodality is observed in Aasym but not in Amax LOPEZ/RIVET, WCI3 Town Meeting, College Station (Texas) February, 12-17 2005

  24. What is the influence of out-of-equilibrium effects ? LOPEZ/RIVET, WCI3 Town Meeting, College Station (Texas) February, 12-17 2005

  25. F. Gulminelli Phase coexistence in Nuclei Habilitation Université de Caen (2003) Bimodality: Lattice-gas model and out-of-equilibrium effects Bimodality and radial flow Bimodality is still present even for 100% of radial flow (as compared to E) Similar conclusions are observed in presence of transparency (longitudinal flow) F. Gulminelli and Ph. Chomaz Nucl. Phys. A734 (2004) 581 LOPEZ/RIVET, WCI3 Town Meeting, College Station (Texas) February, 12-17 2005

  26. What is the influence of Coulomb interaction ? LOPEZ/RIVET, WCI3 Town Meeting, College Station (Texas) February, 12-17 2005

Bimodalities: Influence of Coulomb Gulminelli et al PRL 91, Number 20 (2003) Bimodality in IMMM (Isobar Microcanonical Multifragmentation Model) A multicanonical approach allows the mapping between Coulomb and uncharged systems Inclusion of Coulomb deforms the event probability structure of the phase space but the bimodal character still remains for small systems but not for the heavier ones … Size dependence ?

  29. No PT 2nd PT 1st PT F. Gulminelli, private communication LOPEZ/RIVET, WCI3 Town Meeting, College Station (Texas) February, 12-17 2005 Bimodality of Amax (order parameter): only when there is a 1st order PT Aasy = (Amax –A2)/(Amax +A2) may lead to ambiguity on the order of the PT but not on the existence of a PT

  30. Limitations: Coulomb, … Bimodalities : some questions • What is the best order parameter: Amaxvs. (Amax-A2), (Amax-A2-A3), … ? • What about the event sorting: canonicalvs. X ? • Some alternative explanations may exist : • spin, geometry effect, boundary conditions, … LOPEZ/RIVET, WCI3 Town Meeting, College Station (Texas) February, 12-17 2005

  31.

  32. BIMODALITIES The discussion is now OPEN LOPEZ/RIVET, WCI3 Town Meeting, College Station (Texas) February, 12-17 2005

  33. Bimodalities : summary Definition: Bimodality is the presence of two components in an event probability distribution of an order parameter for a finite system; it is related to the coexistence of two phases for the considered system Generic features: It is related to the abnormal convexity of the entropy or other thermodynamical potentials It is then a 1st order phase transition It should be observed in a “canonical” treatment of data or at least in the framework of “gaussian” ensembles It is a signature of the liquid-gas phase transition in nuclear matter if Order parameter is the density (rliq-rgas) or Energy LOPEZ/RIVET, WCI3 Town Meeting, College Station (Texas) February, 12-17 2005

  34. Bimodalities : what could be in the Consensus From the theoretical side : The relationship between phase coexistence and bimodality is clearly established for finite systems The order parameter for the Liquid-Gas phase transition is (rliq-rgas) or E and is related to the biggest fragment (Amax) for LG (but not only !) From the experiment side : Two decay modes are observed; they correspond to the fragmentation threshold and the route from residue-evaporation to multifragmentation They are observed both in peripheral and central collisions LOPEZ/RIVET, WCI3 Town Meeting, College Station (Texas) February, 12-17 2005
