Description

Transverse-momentum distributions of light spectator fragments are analyzed by representing them as superpositions of contributions from various interaction mechanisms. The temperatures and the collective transverse momenta of light projectile fragments formed in Ne + Em and Si + Em interactions at momenta of 4.1-4.5 GeV/c per projectile nucleon are estimated under the assumption that these spectators are compressed as the participant projectile nucleons traverse the target nucleus. This analysis reveals the important role of sound waves in the transfer of collective momenta to spectator fragments
