Intranuclear cascading at ultrahigh energy in heavy-ion interactions

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

Intranuclear cascading mechanism one of the important non-linear effects in high energy nucleusnucleus collisions is investigated. The data on multiplicity (n s ) and pseudorapidity (η) distributions of shower particles produced by32S and16O at 200A GeV,16O at 60A GeV,28Si at 14.5A GeV and He at ≈140A GeV are presented and compared with the string model VENUS, which takes into account the cascade interactions of secondary particles. The effect of the intranuclear collisions on the distributions of <η> versus <n s > is discussed for all the beams.

  12. We know that there are other He isotopes (3He and6He) present in some proportion among the majority of4He projectile fragments, but as these isotopes do not differ greatly in geometrical sizes and in nuclear reactions at the CERN energies, it is the geometry (i.e., impact parameter), which is playing a dominant role. Thus, the exact masses of the He isotopes would not make any difference in our results presented here
