Abstract

Results are presented from a bubble chamber experiment to search for anomalous mean free path (MFP) phenomena for secondary multicharged fragments (Zf=5 and 6) of a12C beam at 4.2 GeV/c per nucleon. A total of 50,000 primary interactions of carbon with propane (C3H8) were treated. Approximately 6,000 beam fragments with charges Zf=5 and 6 were analyzed in detail to search for an anomalous decrease of MFP. The anomaly is observed only for secondary carbon nuclei.
