Description

The entropy per nucleon of diluite-nuclear-matter systems by analysing isotopical resolved emitted fragments, attributable to emission sources originated in near-central ion collision at intermediate energy is evaluated. By using a statistical approach the ratio between the total entropy of the whole nuclear system and the total number of nucleons (both free and bound), concerned with the last stage of 14 different reactions is deduced. These so-called ''measured'' entropies per nucleon are here deduced by taking into account the weighted average of entropies of all the source constituents with mass number A≤30
