We performed a systematic study of the formation of fragments with different mass ranges in 197Au+197Au collisions at incident energies between 20 - 1000 MeV/nucleon and at impact para- meter between ^b = 0-0.98. The aim of present study is to understand the complex dependence of fragment production on incident energy and impact parameter. Our results clearly indicate that the QMD simulations of 197Au+197Au predict different behavior for different mass ranges than for IMFs with a change in incident energy and impact parameter. All charge yields can be parameterized by a power law and no signal of liquid-gas phase transition is seen as no unique dependence of tau on impact parameter is seen.

Onset of multifragmentation and vaporization in Au-Au collisions
Multifragment disintegrations, measured for central Au + Au collisions at E/A = 35 MeV, are analyzed with the Statistical Multifragmentation Model. Charge distributions, mean fragment energies, and two-fragment correlation functions are well reproduced by the statistical breakup of a large, diluted and thermalized system slightly above the multifragmentation threshold.
The distribution of fragments produced in events involving the multifragmentation of excited sources is studied for peripheral Au + Au reactions at 35 A.MeV. The Quasi-Projectile has been reconstructed from its de-excitation products. An isotropic emission in its rest frame has been observed, indicating that an equilibrated system has been formed. The excitation energy of the Quasi-Projectile has been determined via calorimetry. A new event by event effective thermometer is proposed based on the energy balance. A peak in the energy fluctuations is observed related to the heat capacity, suggesting that the system undergoes a liquid-gas type phase transition at an excitation energy about 5 A.MeV and a temperature 4 - 6 MeV, dependent on the freeze-out hypothesis. By analyzing different regions of the Campi-plot, the events associated with the liquid and gas phases as well as the critical region are thermodynamically characterized. The critical exponents, tau, beta,gamma, extracted from the high moments of the charge distribution are consistent with a liquid-gas type phase transition.
The ratio of the shear viscosity ($eta$) to entropy density ($s$) for the intermediate energy heavy-ion collisions has been calculated by using the Green-Kubo method in the framework of the quantum molecular dynamics model. The theoretical curve of $eta/s$ as a function of the incident energy for the head-on Au+Au collisions displays that a minimum region of $eta/s$ has been approached at higher incident energies, where the minimum $eta/s$ value is about 7 times Kovtun-Son- Starinets (KSS) bound (1/4$pi$). We argue that the onset of minimum $eta/s$ region at higher incident energies corresponds to the nuclear liquid gas phase transition in nuclear multifragmentation.
Identified charged particle spectra of $pi^{pm}$, $K^{pm}$, $p$ and $pbar$ at mid-rapidity ($|y|<0.1$) measured by the $dedx$ method in the STAR-TPC are reported for $pp$ and d+Au collisions at $snn = 200$ GeV and for Au+Au collisions at 62.4 GeV, 130 GeV, and 200 GeV. ...
