The critical behavior of fragment production is studied within a Lattice Gas Model in the canonical ensemble. Finite size effects on the liquid-gas phase transition are analyzed by a direct calculation of the partition function, and it is shown that phase coexistence and phase transition are relevant concepts even for systems of a few tens of particles. Critical exponents are extracted from the behavior of the fragment production yield as a function of temperature by means of a finite size scaling. The result is that in a finite system well defined critical signals can be found at supercritical (Kertész line) as well as subcritical densities inside the coexistence zone.

We report some selected recent developments in the finite-size scaling theory of critical phenomena occurring in systems with strong spatial anisotropies. Such systems are characterized by correlation lengths divergent with different exponents (ν⊥, ν||) along different directions. Attention is focused on the driven diffusive lattice gas that exhibits a second order nonequilibrium phase transition. We present in detail the phenomenology and its comparison with computer simulation. Novel features of finite-size effects in anisotropic nonequilibrium systems are emphasized.
