Estimate of large fragment yield forZ>56 nuclei

Summary Large fragment yields are calculated forZ>56 nuclei in the frame-work of abrasion/ablation model which includes a third-order correction for surface energy term. The results for 1.049 GeV/n¹⁹⁷Au₇₉ nuclei, 1.128 GeV/n¹⁶⁵Ho₆₇ nuclei, 1.88 GeV/n⁵⁶Fe₂₆ nuclei, 1.239 GeV¹³²Xe₅₄ nuclei and 1.489 GeV⁸⁴Kr₃₆ nuclei are compared with experimental data for different target combinations. The comparison shows that the theory provides a reasonable representation of elemental cross-section for all projectiles.
