Abstract

Double-differential cross sections have been measured for protons, deuterons, tritons, He3, and He4 at laboratory angles of 60°, 90°, and 120° from targets of Al, Ag, and Ta bombarded with 720-MeV α particles. At a given angle the high-energy d2σdΩdE spectra are very similar in shape, independent of fragment and target. The nuclear fireball and coalescence models are somewhat less consistent with these data than with high-energy heavy-ion data obtained with the Bevalac.
