Description

Angular distributions of various Mg, Sc, Cu, Ag, and Ba nuclides produced in the interaction of 238U with 400-GeV protons have been measured. While all the angular distributions peak at approx. 900, those obtained for certain products are characterized by greater backward than forward emission in the laboratory system. This category includes both neutron-deficient and neutron-excess Sc fragments as well as neutron-deficient Cu and Ag nuclides
