Production of Helium Projectile Fragments in 16O-Emulsion Collisions at 60 A GeV

Production of helium projectile fragments in ¹⁶O-emulsion interactions at 60 A GeV is investigated. The total charge changing and partial production cross-sections are measured experimentally on the basis of helium multiplicity. The multiplicity distribution of helium projectile fragments obeys a KNO scaling. In the peripheral collision of ¹⁶O at 60 A GeV in nuclear emulsion, the production of target fragments depends on the multiplicity of helium projectile fragments linearly. The averge multiplicity of target fragments decreases with the increasing of the number of helium projectile fragments which can be well expliained by the model of participant-spectator (the nuclear geometric model) of nucleus-nucleus interactions.     

Investigation of the mean free path of projectile fragments produced in 16O－Em collision at 60 A GeV

Results are presented for an investigation of the mean free path of projectile fragments with charge 3≤Z≤8, produced by 60 A GeV {}^{16}O in nuclear emulsion. No dependence of mean free path on the distance from the point of the fragment emission is observed and our result is consistent with the nonexistence of anomalons.     

Nuclear fragmentation degree in the production of light projectile fragments

The projectile-target multiplicity correlations at the lowest (3.7 A GeV) and highest (200 A GeV) available energies in Sulfur-emulsion interactions are investigated in the framework of the participant-spectator model. We examined the light projectile spectator (singly, N_z=1 and doubly, N_z=2 charged projectile fragments). The measured average multiplicities of N_z=1 and N_z=2 at both incident energies showed a decrease with increasing the fragment charge, as well as the average values within experimental errors showed independence on the incident energy. The multiplicity measurements of different emitted secondary charged particles (produced particles, shower tracks, and target fragments, gray and black tracks) in the interactions of ³²S-Em at 3.7 A and 200 A GeV were carried out. However, the correlation between the mean multiplicities of secondary charged particles and both of the singly and doubly charged projectile fragments were investigated to shed some light on the interface of spectator and participant regions, and on the possible influences of the phenomena from the two regions on the collision dynamics.     

Study of emission characteristics of the projectile fragments produced in the interaction of 84Kr36 with nuclear emulsion detector at 1 GeV

This article is focused on the characteristics of the projectile fragments of charge 1 ≤ Z ≤ 10 produced in the interaction of the ⁸⁴Kr₃₆ with nuclear emulsion detector at 1 GeV per nucleon. We have studied the average charge distribution and multiplicity distribution of the projectile fragments having charge 1 ≤ Z ≤ 10. We have also studied the emission behavior of various projectile fragments produced from the interaction with different target groups of nuclear emulsion detector. From this study we have observed that the emission of projectile fragments is strongly dependent on the interaction with different type of the target groups of nuclear emulsion detector as well as on the mass of the projectile beam. The results are compared with other experimental observations carried out at relativistic energy and found to be consistent.     

Fragmentation in ^16 O-emulsion interactions at 3.7 A GeV

The percolation mechanism for fragmentation of nuclei using Monte Carlo technique

A statistical bond-percolation model for the fragmentation has been applied to the proton-induced reactions assuming a lattice structure to the prefragment nucleus and using the Monte Carlo technique to determine the bond to be broken. The model succeeded to reproduce the essential features of the mass yield curves for the p-Cu reaction at 3.9 GeV and to describe qualitatively the charge and the multiplicity distributions of the projectile fragments for the ²⁸Si interactions with the quasi-free emulsion nucleon at 3.7 AGeV.     

Projectile spectator proton production in 84Kr- emulsion interactions at 1.7 A GeV

The multiplicity distribution of projectile protons and multiplicity correlations between black particles, grey particles, shower particles, compound particles, heavily ionized track particles, projectile helium fragments and projectile spectator protons in ⁸⁴Kr-emulsion collisions at 1.7 A GeV are investigated. It is found that the projectile spectator proton multiplicity distribution becomes broader with increasing target mass. The average multiplicity of shower particles and compound particles strongly depends on the number of projectile spectator protons, but the average multiplicity of black particles, grey particles and heavily ionized track particles weakly depends on the number of projectile spectator protons. The average multiplicity of projectile helium fragments increases linearly with increasing numbers of projectile spectator protons. Finally, the multiplicity distribution of projectile spectator protons obeys a KNO type of scaling law.

Yields of projectile fragments in sulphur-emulsion interactions at 3.7 A GeV

This work presents the basic characteristics of singly,doubly and heavily charged projectile fragments(PFs) emitted in inelastic interactions of ~(32)S ions with photo-emulsion nuclei at Dubna energy(3.7 A GeV).Our experimental data are compared with the corresponding data for other projectiles at the same incident energy.The study of mean multiplicities of different charged PFs against the projectile mass shows a power-law relationship.The multiplicity distributions of singly and doubly charged PFs have been fitted well with a Gaussian distribution function.The yields of PFs broken up from the interactions of ~(32)S projectile nuclei with different target nuclei are studied.The beam energy dependence in terms of the various order moments is studied as well.     

Search for projectile fragments with fractional charge in relativistic heavy ion collisions

We measured the charge of about 35 000 projectile fragments with Z5e produced by 14.5 GeV/nucleon and 200 GeV/nucleon ¹⁶O beams in a Pb target using CR39 plastic nuclear track detectors. A minimum track length of 3 mm in the detector without nuclear interaction was required. No evidence for fragments carrying a fractional charge was found.     

Characteristics of alpha projectile fragments emission in interaction of nuclei with emulsion

The properties of the relativistic alpha fragments produced in interactions of ⁸⁴Kr at around 1 A GeV in nuclear emulsion are investigated. The experimental results are compared with the similar results obtained from various projectiles with emulsion interactions at different energies. The total, partial nuclear cross-sections and production rates of alpha fragmentation channels in relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions and their dependence on the mass number and initial energy of the incident projectile nucleus are investigated. The yields of multiple alpha fragments emitted from the interactions of projectile nuclei with the nuclei of light, medium and heavy target groups of emulsion-detector are discussed and they indicate that the projectile-breakup mechanism seems to be free from the target mass number. It is found that the multiplicity distributions of alpha fragments are well described by the Koba-Nielsen-Olesen (KNO) scaling presentation. The mean multiplicities of the freshly produced or newly created charged secondary particles, normally known as shower and secondary particles associated with target in the events where the emission of alpha fragments were accompanied by heavy projectile fragments having Z ≥ 3 seem to be constant as the alpha fragments multiplicity increases, and exhibit a behavior independent of the alpha fragments multiplicity.     

Two source emission behavior of projectile fragments alpha in 84Kr interactions at around 1 GeV per nucleon

The emission of projectile fragments alpha has been studied in ⁸⁴Kr interactions with nuclei of the nuclear emulsion detector composition at relativistic energy below 2 GeV per nucleon. The angular distribution of projectile fragments alpha in terms of transverse momentum could not be explained by a straight and clean-cut collision geometry hypothesis of Participant — Spectator (PS) Model. Therefore, it is assumed that projectile fragments alpha were produced from two separate sources that belong to the projectile spectator region differing drastically in their temperatures. It has been clearly observed that the emission of projectile fragments alpha are from two different sources. The contribution of projectile fragments alpha from contact layer or hot source is a few percent of the total emission of projectile fragments alphas. Most of the projectile fragments alphas are emitted from the cold source.     

Systematic study of multiparticle production in nucleus–nucleus interactions at 14.6 A GeV

An experimental analysis of 855 events induced by 14.6 A GeV ²⁸Si in nuclear emulsion is presented. Mean multiplicities of charged secondary particles produced in the nuclear interactions are studied and compared with the results from the other experiments for the same projectile at 3.7 A GeV as well as data for proton at similar energy (14 GeV). An analysis of pseudorapidity densities of target fragments (black and grey particles) is also performed. The behaviour of the KNO scaling law of the multiplicity distribution for shower particles has been examined. In order to accumulate knowledge about the intermittent behaviour of shower particles, the scaled factorial moments (SFMs) are computed in η-space and ?-space for a set of data in the ²⁸Si–AgBr events. Furthermore, validity of limiting fragmentation of shower particles produced in central collision events induced by ²⁸Si-emulsion interactions has been tested. A crude estimation for the energy density of the nuclear matter formed in the central collision events at our energy has been examined.

Single source emission of proton projectile fragments in nucleus-emulsion interactions

The projected angular distribution and transverse momentum distribution of proton projectile fragments produced in 3.7A GeV 16O,500A MeV 56Fe,and 1.7A GeV 84Kr induced by different kinds of emulsion target(H,CNO,and AgBr) interactions are investigated.It is found that the projected angular distribution and transverse momentum distribution can be well represented by a single Gaussian distribution.Comparison of transverse momentum distribution with the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution reveals that proton projectile fragments are emitted from a single-temperature emission source.The temperature is different for different colliding systems,and linearly depends on the target size.     

Nuclear multifragmentation: Basic concepts

We present a brief overview of nuclear multifragmentation reaction. Basic formalism of canonical thermodynamical model based on equilibrium statistical mechanics is described. This model is used to calculate basic observables of nuclear multifragmentation like mass distribution, fragment multiplicity, isotopic distribution and isoscaling. Extension of canonical thermodynamical model to a projectile fragmentation model is outlined. Application of the projectile fragmentation model for calculating average number of intermediate mass fragments and the average size of the largest cluster at different Z _bound, differential charge distribution and cross-section of neutron-rich nuclei of different projectile fragmentation reactions at different energies are described. Application of nuclear multifragmentation reaction in basic research as well as in other domains is outlined.
