Abstract

Abstract A method for measuring the cross sections for the neutron removal from relativistic secondary projectiles by means of a two-stage magnetic spectrometer is presented. Its application to the 1n- and 2n-removal from 56 Ni and 52 Fe at 470 A ·MeV in an aluminum target is described. The results are compared to the intranuclear-cascade plus evaporation model and to the statistical abrasion-ablation model. The influence of the nuclear surface on the few-nucleon removal reactions is discussed. The neutron-removal cross sections are combined with total charge-changing cross sections to obtain the total interaction cross sections of 56 Ni and 52 Fe.
