Abstract

Distinct entropy definitions have been used to obtain an inverse correlation between the residual size and entropy for Heavy Ion Collisions. This explains the existence of several temperatures for different residual size bins, as reported elsewhere (Natowitz et. al., 2002). HIC collisions were simulated using binary interaction LATINO model where Pandharipande potential replicates internucleonic interaction. System temperature is defined as the temperature obtained when Kinetic Gas Theory is applied to the nucleons in the participant region. Fragments are detected with an Early Cluster Recognition Algorithm that optimizes the partitions in energy space.
