Abstract

We report the first results of a Bevatron heavy-ion experiment on the inclusive spectra of isotopically identified nuclei, $3 <~ Z <~ 7$ , produced by the fragmentation of 29-GeV ${}^{14}N$ ions in carbon and hydrogen. The preliminary values of the partial differential cross sections at 0° give evidence that the modes of fragmentation of ${}^{14}N$ projectiles are independent of the target nucleus.
