Scaled variance, skewness, and kurtosis near the critical point of nuclear matter
Scaled variance, skewness, and kurtosis near the critical point of nuclear matter
The van der Waals (VDW) equation of state predicts the existence of a first-order liquid-gas phase transition and contains a critical point. The VDW equation with Fermi statistics is applied to a description of the nuclear matter. The nucleon number fluctuations near the critical point of nuclear matter are studied. …
