Statistical decay of fragments from C + 12C, 2.1 GeV/nucleon.

Abstract

A statistical decay model has been used to calculate inclusive and coincidence cross sections for the formation of projectile fragments from the collision of /sup 12/C (2.1 GeV/nucleon) with a carbon target. The model predicts fragment momenta parallel and perpendicular to the projectile direction. Good agreement with experimental results is obtained for the inclusive yields of fragments and for the momenta, and fairly good agreement for coincidence yields.
