Abstract

An attempt to extract critical exponents γ, β, and τ from data on gold nuclei fragmentation due to interactions with nuclear emulsion at energies 4.0AGeV and 10.6AGeV is presented. Based on analysis of Campi’s second charge moments, two subsets of data at each energy are selected from the inclusive data, corresponding to “liquid” and “gas” phases. The extracted values of critical exponents for the selected datasets are in agreement with predictions of the three-dimensional Ising universality.
