FLUCTUATION DYNAMICS OF FRAGMENTING SPHERICAL NUCLEI

We use the quasiclassical nuclear model and the recently proposed early cluster recognition algorithm to investigate the dynamical evolution of the fragmentation pattern for suitably excited finite spherical spin-isospin symmetric system of 80 nucleons. We find that the asymptotic fragment structure (when clusters are far away from each other) is strongly related to the early most bound density fluctuations (MBDF's) in phase space (when the system is dense). We focus on the evolution of the microscopic structure of this MBDF, finding that the constituents of the MBDF are strongly correlated in time. Our calculations indicate that not only the final fragment spectra but also the microscopic structure of the final clusters carry information about the early stages of the evolution.
