Critical temperature for the nuclear liquid gas phase transition

The charge distribution of the intermediate mass fragments produced in p $(8.1\mathrm{GeV})+\mathrm{Au}$ collisions is analyzed in the framework of the statistical multifragmentation model with the critical temperature for the nuclear liquid-gas phase transition ${T}_{c}$ as a free parameter. It is found that ${T}_{c}=20\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}3\mathrm{MeV}$ (90% C.L.).
