Thermal Bremsstrahlung Probing the Nuclear Liquid-Gas Phase Transition

R. Ortega, F. Fernandez, D. d'Enterria, G. Martinez

We present the results of the analysis of the hard photon production in the 129{Xe}+nat{Sn} at 50A MeV system studied in the GANIL E300 experiment. The energy and angular hard photon distributions confirm the existence of a thermal component which follows the recently measured thermal bremsstrahlung systematics. Exploiting the performances of our complete detection system, consisting of TAPS and 3 charged particle multidetectors, we have also measured the hard photon multiplicity as a function of the charged particle multiplicity.
