摘要
The thermal component of the 8 GeV/c pi + Au data of the ISiS Collaboration is shown to follow the scaling predicted by Fisher's model when Coulomb energy is taken into account. Critical exponents tau and sigma, the critical point (p(c), rho(c), T-c), surface energy coefficient c(0), enthalpy of evaporation DeltaH, and critical compressibility factor C-c(F) are determined. For the first time, the experimental phase diagrams, (p, T) and (T, rho), describing the liquid vapor coexistence of finite neutral nuclear matter have been constructed.
