Description

An exclusive study of multifragmentation is described. The moments of the fragment charge distribution are used to extract the critical exponents associated with the phase transition to which the breakup is ascribed. The fragmentation of 1 GeV/nucleon La and Au is studied by reverse kinematics using a carbon target. Fragments with Z ≤ 6 will be identified with the EOS time projection chamber (TPC) while heavier fragments will be identified with a multiple sampling ionization chamber (MUSIC). The experimental setup using these detectors will be described
