Multifragmentation of the Pb projectile at 158 GeV/nucleon in Pb-Pb interactions

Description

We have investigated the process of fragmentation of the Pb nucleus at 158 GeV/nucleon in Pb-Pb interactions recorded in the lead-emulsion chambers of the EMU13 CERN experiment. The number of Pb-Pb interactions found was larger than expected from the nuclear charge changing cross section, which indicates an important role of electromagnetic dissociation processes in Pb-Pb interactions at this energy. Different modes of the Pb projectile break-up, including the multifragmentation process, are discussed. The rates and properties of fragmentation processes such as fission, multifragmentation and disintegration into singly charged fragments are presented. (orig.)
