Abstract

The parallel- and transverse-momentum distributions have been measured for fragments of Z>~3 produced by the fragmentation of O16 at 90 and 120 MeV/nucleon. A strong anisotropy is observed with σp200 MeV/c for all fragments, which can be explained by considering the dispersion due to orbital deflection of the projectile prior to breakup.
