Abstract
The angular correlations between coincident fission fragments emitted in the reactions of with 5-GeV protons, 1.25-GeV/nucleon , and 0.25-2.10-GeV/nucleon were measured. The longitudinal momentum transfer to the target calculated from these correlations increased with increasing mass loss from the target and was inversely proportional to the projectile velocity, independent of projectile mass. These observations are shown to be consistent with simple two-body models of peripheral reactions.
NUCLEAR REACTIONS, FISSION , (,), (,), , GeV, GeV, measured angular correlations of coincident fragments; deduced momentum transfer to target.
