Abstract
The backward multiplicity and angular distributions of the shower particles produced in the interactions of 22Ne and 28Si nuclei at 3.6 GeV in emulsions are presented, analysed and compared with the data from the interactions of 12C nuclei at the same incident energy. The results yield quite interesting information regarding the mechanism of production of backward shower particles. The pseudorapidity distributions of the produced shower particles in the backward hemisphere are independent of the projectile mass. The multiplicity distributions of the shower particles emitted in the backward direction, using the KNO representation, are described by an exponential form.
