The limiting Temperature of hot nuclei from microscopic Equation of State

The limiting temperature Tlim of a series of nuclei is calculated employing a set of microscopic nuclear equation of state (EoS). It is shown that the value of Tlim is sensitive to the nuclear matter Equation of State used. Comparison with the values extracted in recent phenomenological analysis appears to favour a definite selection of EoS's. On the basis of this phenomenological analysis, it seems therefore possible to check the microscopic calculations of the nuclear EoS at finite temperature, which is hardly accessible through other experimental informations.
