Comment on "Negative heat and first order phase transitions in nuclei" by Moretto et al

Abstract

The recent paper nucl-th/0208024 by Moretto et al. is commented: Their picture of nuclear phase transition in terms of macroscopic control parameters, temperature and pressure, is irrelevant. Their criticism of order-disorder phase-transitions on a periodic lattice uses the wrong scenario. This transition has nothing to do with the liquid-gas transition of a single spherical droplet.
