2 5 Ja n 20 02 Fragmentation cross sections of 158 A GeV Pb ions in various targets measured with CR 39 nuclear track detectors
نویسنده
چکیده
We report the measurement of the fragmentation cross sections in high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions using the 158 A GeV Pb82+ beam from the CERN-SPS. The fragments have charges changed from that of the incident projectile nucleus by ∆Z = ZPb − Zfrag, 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.

We present new measurements of the total and partial fragmentation cross sections in the energy range 0.3 ÷ 10 A GeV of Fe, Si and C beams on polyethylene, CR39 and aluminum targets. The exposures were made at BNL, USA and HIMAC, Japan. The CR39 nuclear track detectors were used to identify the incident and survived beams and their fragments. The total fragmentation cross sections for all targe...

We report on the measurements of the total charge changing fragmentation cross sections in high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions using Fe, Si and Pb incident ions. Several stacks of CR39 nuclear track detectors with different target combinations were exposed at normal incidence to high energy accelerator beams to integrated densities of about 2000 ions/cm. The nuclear track detector foils were...
