Description
We consider the conditions under which nulcei will fragment into smaller pieces. We argue that fragmentation will occur when the nuclear matter has expanded adiabatically to the onset of hydrodynamic instability, deltaP/deltaVvertical strokesub(S)=0. We discuss the conditions of initial heating and/or compression which lead to fragmentation, and argue that the resulting fragmented matter will be composed mainly of alpha-particles and nucleons.
