Principal results of nucleus-nucleus collisions and DISK-3 installation

Main results of investigations into nucleUs-nUcleus collisions obtained means of techniques of scintillation and Cherenkov detectors, spark chambers, nUclear photoemulsions are discussed. Processes with small momentum transfers (< 300 MeV/c) obtained in JINR and ITEPh were considered as well as interactions with large momentum transfer (over 100 GeV/c) during the CERN-JINR experiment (cumulative processes). A derive flowsheet, which is constructed for studying correlations in the cumulative particle production, is given. The device operates on line With the ES-1040 electronic computer. The primary proton intensity is approximately 5 x 1011. A minimum level of inclusive cross sections for a nucleon of a fragmenting nucleus, which can be studied at the device, constitutes approximately 10-36 cm2 per unit of phase volume. A physical investigation program is presented
