This book provides a collection of reviews of some of the recent developments in nuclear physics research at intermediate energies carried out throughout the world. It especially discusses the most essential aspects such as multifragmentation and associated phenomena in nuclear collisions with the incident energy region between a few MeV and several hundreds of MeV/nucleon. The topic of the book—multifragmentation—was chosen based on the fact that the entire heavy-ion collisions revolve around a fragmenting system, which is also thought to have a link to phase transitions. One of the unique and valuable dimensions of the book is that it has brought together many experts working in the field of intermediate energy heavy-ion collisions in various renowned laboratories across the world. It provides a thorough review of the recent developments in various phenomena, especially multifragmentation, observed at intermediate energy range both theoretically and experimentally. It extensively discusses the concept of nuclear symmetry, which is important for the nuclear physics and astrophysics communities. In addition, the book identifies potential research directions and technologies that will drive future innovations. The book will serve as a valuable reference for a larger audience.

This volume comprises select peer-reviewed papers from the Indo-French Workshop on Multifragmentation, Collective Flow, and Sub-Threshold Particle Production in Heavy-Ion Reactions held at the Department of Physics, Panjab University, Chandigarh, India in February, 2019. The contents highlight latest research trends in intermediate energy nuclear physics and emphasize on the various reaction mechanisms which take place in heavy-ion collisions. The chapters contribute to the understanding of interactions that govern the dynamics at sub-nucleonic level. The book includes contributions from global experts hailing from major research facilities of nuclear physics, and provides a good balance between experimental and theoretical model based studies. Given the range of topics covered, this book can be a useful reference for students and researchers interested in the field of heavy-ion reactions.
