Multifragmentation is the dominant decay mode of heavy nuclear systems with excitation energies near their binding energies and is characterized by a multiple production of nuclear fragments with intermediate mass. At relativistic bombarding energies, multifragmentation may be observed in peripheral collisions of heavy symmetric systems or more central collisions of mass asymmetric systems. The decay properties indicate a high degree of equilibration and are well described by statistical multifragmentation models. Multifragmentation has been linked to the liquid-gas phase transition in finite nuclear systems. A caloric curve of nuclei has been obtained, and signatures of critical phenomena in finite nuclear systems are searched for in multifragmentation data.
