Description

Characteristics of intermediate mass fragment emission data advanced as experimental evidence of a hadronic gas to liquid phase transition are reviewed. Ambiguities in the interpretation of these characteristics are presented. The necessity of large Z fragments to tunnel through a large Coulomb barrier is shown to make extraction of a phase transition signature difficult
