摘要：
Recent data obtained for the fragmentation of gold nuclei after bombardment with high energy protons at the BNL-AGS shows that it is possible to generate conditions in finite nuclei that are sufficiently close to the critical point of the nuclear matter phase diagram. We have compared these data to theoretical models based on the percolation universality class and find excellent agreements. Based on this, we conclude that there now is conclusive evidence for a continuous phase transition in nuclear fragmentation.
