Abstract

We consider a soluble model of multifragmentation which is similar in spirit to many models that have been used to fit intermediate energy heavy-ion collision data. We draw a $p - V$ diagram for the model and compare with a $p - V$ diagram obtained from a mean-field theory. We investigate the question of chemical instability in the multifragmentation model. Phase transitions in the model are discussed.
