Abstract

Cross sections for forming Na24 and F18 by the interactions of 13.6-GeV/nucleon O16 and Si28 ions with Al and for forming Na24 in O16 interactions with Cu have been measured relative to the cross section for forming C11 from carbon. The results are generally consistent with energy-independent inclusive cross sections (limiting fragmentation) for heavy ions between ∼2 and 13.6 GeV/nucleon. However, comparison of the heavy-ion data with those for high-energy protons indicates a significantly weaker dependence on projectile size than that predicted by the factorization hypothesis for σC(11C), σAl(18F), and σAl(24Na). The dependence is slightly stronger in the case of σCu(24Na).
