Abstract
Cross sections for formation of intermediate mass (A < 50) fragments in the collision of 60 and 200 A GeV16O with 238U have been measured. Limiting fragmentation behavior is observed. The thresholds for multifragmentation (Eprojin A GeV) are apparently lower in nucleus-nucleus collisions as compared to p-nucleus collisions, consistent with models in which multifragmentation is due to a mechanical instability of nuclear matter.
