Popis: Comparative analysis of three typical models of nuclear disintegration, the statistical multifragmentation model (SMM), the quantum statistical model (QSM) and a generalized evaporation model (GEM), is carried out. The thermodynamical properties of a decaying system as well as observable characteristics in heavy ion collisions predicted by the different models are discussed. It is shown that these models yield quite similar results for low charge yields at higher excitation energies (E/A>6 MeV per nucleon) and it is suggested that the coincidence measurements of the intermediate mass fragment multiplicity and the neutron and proton multiplicity (or alternatively, the total bound charge) may be very useful for deducing the decay mechanism. The GEM is shown to differ from the other models in predicting a high Z residue peak.
