Abstract
An electromagnetic dissociation (ED) cross section of 3.16±0.23 b was observed for 197Au( 238U, X) 196Au with 0.96 GeV/ nucleon 238U projectiles. The gross features of ED are reproduced in a Weizsäcker-Williams (WW) calculation, but the projectile charge dependence is weaker than expected from WW. WW calculations are extended to the regime of energies of the next generation of relativistic heavy-ion colliders.
