Description

The dissociation of relativistic 12C and 16O nuclei by the Coulomb fields of target nuclei has been inferred from the systematics of cross-section data. Coulomb contributions to the total fragmentation cross sections are interpreted by the Weizscker-Williams method. The minimum-impact parameters deduced by this method are characterized by radial overlap distances comparable to the charge-skin thicknesses of the interacting nuclei, compatible with the effects of nuclear absorption
