The calculation of the critical exponent t is crucial in the determination of critical phenomena in heavy ionreactions. This, however, is obscured by the unavoidable mixing of critical and noncritical events that resultsin nonclean signals. Here we report on a method to extract critical events from a set of mixed ones. Incomparing to the traditional one, based on the so-called Campi plot, a distinct advantage is found.
