Nuclear multifragmentation in nonextensive statistics: canonical formulation

We apply the canonical quantum statistical model of nuclear multifragmentation generalized in the framework of recently proposed Tsallis nonextensive thermostatistics for the description of the nuclear multifragmentation process. The test calculation in the system with A = 197 nucleons shows strong modification of the “critical” behavior associated with the nuclear liquid-gas phase transition for small deviations from the conventional Boltzmann-Gibbs statistical mechanics
