Dynamical aspects of fragmentation

Abstract

In this short communication we address the problem of reducibility in a highly excited Lennard-Jones system. We show that the probability of emitting $n$ fragments can be described in terms of a single probability through the binomial expression. However, the Arrhenius law does not hold and the process can be viewed as a mixture of sequential and simultaneous fragmentation events.
