We study signatures of critical behavior in microscopic simulations of small, highly excited Lennard-Jones drops. We focus our attention on the behavior of the system at the time of fragment formation (which takes place in phase space) and compare the results with the corresponding ones obtained at asymptotic times (experimentally accessible). The four critical exponents ($tau$,$beta$, $sigma$ and $gamma$) found at fragmentation time have shown to be stable against time evolution, indicating that the asymptotic stage reflects accurately the physics at fragmentation time. Even though evidence of critical behavior arises from the calculations, we can not affirm that the system is performing a second order like phase transition.

Isotope yields have been analyzed within the framework of a Modified Fisher Model to study the power law yield distribution of isotopes in the multifragmentation regime. Using the ratio of the mass dependent symmetry energy coefficient relative to th
e temperature, $a_{sym}/T$, extracted in previous work and that of the pairing term, $a_{p}/T$, extracted from this work, and assuming that both reflect secondary decay processes, the experimentally observed isotope yields have been corrected for these effects. For a given I = N - Z value, the corrected yields of isotopes relative to the yield of $^{12}C$ show a power law distribution, $Y(N,Z)/Y(^{12}C) sim A^{-tau}$, in the mass range of $1 le A le 30$ and the distributions are almost identical for the different reactions studied. The observed power law distributions change systematically when I of the isotopes changes and the extracted $tau$ value decreases from 3.9 to 1.0 as I increases from -1 to 3. These observations are well reproduced by a simple de-excitation model, which the power law distribution of the primary isotopes is determined to $tau^{prim} = 2.4 pm 0.2$, suggesting that the disassembling system at the time of the fragment formation is indeed at or very near the critical point.
In this contribution we show that the biggest fragment charge distribution in central collisions of Xe+Sn leading to multifragmentation is an admixture of two asymptotic distributions observed for the lowest and highest bombarding energies. The evolu
tion of the relative weights of the two components with bombarding energy is shown to be analogous to that observed as a function of time for the largest cluster produced in irreversible aggregation for a finite system. We infer that the size distribution of the largest fragment in nuclear multifragmentation is also characteristic of the time scale of the process, which is largely determined by the onset of radial expansion in this energy range.
The fragment production in multifragmentation of finite nuclei is affected by the critical temperature of nuclear matter. We show that this temperature can be determined on the basis of the statistical multifragmentation model (SMM) by analyzing the
evolution of fragment distributions with the excitation energy. This method can reveal a decrease of the critical temperature that, e.g., is expected for neutron-rich matter. The influence of isospin on fragment distributions is also discussed.
We determine the dependence of important parameters for critical fluctuations on temperature and baryon chemical potential in the QCD phase diagram. The analysis is based on an identification of the fluctuations of the order parameter obtained from t
he Ising model equation of state and the Ginzburg-Landau effective potential approach. The impact of the mapping from Ising model variables to QCD thermodynamics is discussed.
In nuclear reactions induced by hadrons and ions of high energies, nuclei can disintegrate into many fragments during a short time (~100 fm/c). This phenomenon known as nuclear multifragmentation was under intensive investigation last 20 years. It wa
s established that multifragmentation is an universal process taking place in all reactions when the excitation energy transferred to nuclei is high enough, more than 3 MeV per nucleon, independently on the initial dynamical stage of the reactions. Very known compound nucleus decay processes (sequential evaporation and fission), which are usual for low energies, disappear and multifragmentation dominates at high excitation energy. For this reason, calculation of multifragmentation must be carried on in all cases when production of highly excited nuclei is expected, including spallation reactions. From the other hand, one can consider multifragmentation as manifestation of the liquid-gas phase transition in finite nuclei. This gives way for studying nuclear matter at subnuclear densities and for applications of properties of nuclear matter extracted from multifragmentation reactions in astrophysics. In this contribution, the Statistical Multifragmentation Model (SMM), which combines the compound nucleus processes at low energies and multifragmentation at high energies, is described. The most important ingredients of the model are discussed.
