✦ Synopsis

A global protocol for the thermostatistical analysis of hot nuclear sources is discussed. Within our method of minimization of variances we show that the abnormal kinetic energy fluctuation signal recently reported in different experimental data from the MULTICS and INDRA collaborations is a genuine signal of a first-order phase transition in a finite system.
