Abstract
Multifragmentation in the late stages of intermediate-energy heavy ion collisionscan be described with the quantum statistical model. Instable medium fragments undergodecay subsequently, and which would redistribute multi fragment yields. The degree of dissociation, which can be measured by ratios of various charged particles emitted, is proposedas a measure of the entropy of the system. From the yields of the decay of particalinstablefragments to extract the temperature of the system is discussed.
