Description

We have studied multifragment decays of Au projectiles after collisions with C, A1, and Cu targets at a bombarding energy of 600 MeV/nucleon. We find that with increasing violence of the collision, measured via the associated multiplicity of light particles, the mean multiplicity of intermediate mass fragments first increases to a maximum ∼3 and then decreases again. Calculations using the BUU model suggest that the fragmentation is governed by the energy Edep deposited into he Au nucleus and that reaches its maximum around Edep∼8 MeV/nucleon. (authors)
