Nuclear Reactions of Medium and Heavy Target Nuclei with High-Energy Projectiles. Fragmentation of (197)Au by 3.65 AGeV (12)C-Ions and 3.65 GeV Protons

摘要

The cross sections of a number of target fragmentation products formed in nuclear reactions of 3.65 AGeV /sup 12/C-ions and 3.65 GeV protons with /sup 197/Au have been measured. The measurements have been done by direct counting of irradiated targets with Ge(Li) gamma-spectrometers. Comparison between these and other data has been used to test the hypotheses of factorization and limiting fragmentation. The total cross section for residue production in both reactions indicates that target residues are formed mainly in central collisions. 15 refs.; 5 figs.; 4 tabs. (Atomindex citation 20:021377)
