Report
Evidence for anomalous nuclei among relativistic projectile fragments at 2 A GeV
- 1. Lawrence Berkeley Lab., CA
Description
Two independent emulsion experiments using Bevalac beams of 16O and 56Fe at approx. = 2 A GeV find with greater than or equal to 99.7% confidence that the reaction mean free paths of projectile fragments, 3 less than or equal to Z less than or equal to 26, are shorter for a few centimeters after their emission than at larger distances, or than predicted from experiments on beam nuclei. This effect, which is enhanced in later generations of fragments, can be interpreted by the relatively rare occurrence of fragments that interact with an unexpectedly large cross section
