Z dependence of strongly interacting relativistic nuclear fragments

Three different experimental groups have recently published the results of their investigations on highly interacting relativistic nuclear fragments (denoted as ''anomalons''). These results are combined to form an anomalon data base, and then chi2 analyses are used to demonstrate that the anomalon mean free paths are Z dependent. It is also demonstrated that these anomalon mean free paths lie on the boundary that delineates the ''domain of nuclear forces.''
