Nuclear statistics, microcanonical or canonical? The physicists vs. the chemists approach

Nuclei are small and inhomogeneous. Multi fragmented nuclei are even more inhomogeneous and the fragments even smaller. System studied in chemical thermodynamics CTh consist of several homogeneous macroscopic phases cf. [1]. Evidently, macroscopic statistics as in Chemistry cannot and should not be applied. Taking this serious, fascinating perspectives open for statistical nuclear fragmentatio
