Abstract

Energy spectra of fragments with 6<~Z<~12 produced by the interactions of 28-BeV protons with uranium and gold were measured at several angles with a (dEdX)E counter telescope. The angular distributions exhibit broad peaks at ∼70° which tend to become more prominent with increasing fragment Z. The presence of these peaks may be evidence for the generation of nuclear shock waves.
