Abstract
Mach shock waves and head shock waves occur during the interpenetration of a light high energetic nucleus with a heavy one. Collisions of16O,12C and4He ions at energies between 0.25 and 2.1 GeV/N with Ag and Cl nuclei have been investigated. The theoretical concepts and the experiment are presented and interpreted. From that a velocity of first sound in nuclear matterc s ≈0.19c, a Mach shock velocityv s ≈0.58c and a nuclear compression constantK=300 MeV are deduced.
