Abstract

The fragmentation patterns of n-paraffins in the C10-C30 range are accounted for using a statistical, maximal entropy, formalism. The theory can be used in a predictive manner. Particular attention is given here to a quantitative test of the theory which is independent of the uncertainties in the structure of the fragments.
