Description

The events with at least three fragments with Z > 2 from the interaction of 8.8 GeV 4He with 208Pb nuclei have been examined using a CR-39 plastic track detector. The analysis shows that the majority of these events is produced in central collisions. But, it is also observed that no negligible part of them originates from peripheral collisions and has one heavy and two light fragments (2 < ZL < 20). This indicates that various mechanisms contribute to the production of light fragments in high energy nuclear interactions. (orig.)
