Abstract
The fragmentation resulting from peripheral Au+Au collisions at an incident energy of E=35MeV/nucleon is investigated. A power-law charge distribution, A−τ with τ≈2.2, and an intermittency signal are observed for events selected in the region of the Campi scatter plot where “critical” behavior is expected.
