Multifragment emission in reactions of 84Kr on Ag and Au at 17.7, 27, and 35 MeV/nucleon

CR 39 solid state nuclear track detectors have been used to study the reaction products of 17.7, 27, and 35 MeV/nucleon 84Kr on Au and Ag. The visual detectors allow studying interactions producing two or more correlated intermediate mass fragments in the final state. The characteristics of these events are such that they probably arise from a fragmentation process of the quasitarget or some intermediate zone. The cross sections of 3, 4, and (5+6) correlated fragments increase with increasing 84Kr incident energy for both targets
