Study of large fragments of uranium projectiles of energy 0.927 GeV/n in Al target

We report the measurement of the fragmentation cross sections in high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions using the 158 A GeV P b 82+ beam from the CERN-SPS. The fragments have charges changed from that of the incident projectile nucleus by ∆Z = Z P b − Z f rag , with 8 ≤ ∆Z < 75. The targets range from polyethylene to lead. Charge identification is made with CR39 nuclear track detectors, measured with an automatic image analyzer system. The measured fragmentation cross sections are parameterized with an empirical relation in terms of the atomic mass of the target, and of the charge of the final fragment.PACS numbers: 25.70.Mn,29.40.Wk

“…The pick-up cross sections for the dierent targets were determined using the equation (see ref. [12]), p1 = 1 x N p (x) N 1 (x) ; (6) where N p is the number of nuclei with Z = 83 produced inside the target, N 1 (x) is the number of unfragmented beam nuclei and x has the same meaning as in Eq. (1).…”

Six stacks of CR39 1 nuclear track detectors with dierent targets were exposed to a lead beam of 158 A GeV at the CERN-SPS, in order to study the fragmentation properties of ultra-relativistic lead nuclei. The exposures were performed at normal incidence with a mean density of about 2000 lead ions/cm 2 in the beam central area. The typical number of events in a stack was about 5:8 10 4 distributed in 8 spots. We present experimental results on lead fragmentation and charge pick-up cross sections.
