Abstract

In bombardments of Au with 25-GeV C12 ions we have studied the energy and angular distribution of fragments with 5<~Z<~9 emitted at energies up to ∼ 1000 MeV. Beyond ∼ 150 MeV the spectra change from roughly exponential in energy and isotropic in some forward-moving frame to roughly inverse power law in energy (steepening with increasing Z) and strongly forward peaked in direction. Possible bumps in the angular and energy distributions suggest hydrodynamic effects.
