Fragmentation of Fe-56 in AL at 1.88 A GeV
Abstract
The production of fragmented nuclei from the relativistic Fe-56 beam available from the LBL Bevalac at 1.88A GeV has been studied using the CR-39 (DOP) passive detector placed at an angle of 60 deg with respect to the beam. The histogram showing the experimental frequency distribution of minor axes of the elliptic etch pit shows the presence of the fragmented nuclei produced with charge number Z from 25 up to 21. The histogram further reveals the presence of nuclei with Z = 27 and 28. The production of nuclei heavier than Fe-56 is possibly due to charge-exchange or pick-up phenomena.
