Momentum correlations are crucial in understanding fragmentation.

Abstract

The role of momentum correlations in fragmentation is studied within the framework of quantum molecular dynamics model. Our study is carried out by imposing momentum cut in the clusterization algorithm. The study reveals a strong effect of momentum cut in the fragmentation pattern. A comparison with experimental data is also presented. Our theoretical results are in agreement with the experimental data.
