Abstract

Multiplicity fluctuations of intermediate-mass fragments are studied with the percolation model. It is shown that super-Poissonian fluctuations occur near the percolation transition and that this behavior is associated with the fragmentative nature of the percolation model. The consequences of various choices in defining and binning fragments are also evaluated. Several suggestions for experiments in nuclear fragmentation are presented.
