Summary
The inelastic-interaction mean free path and fragmentation parameters in nuclear emulsion of accelerated 2.1 GeV/nucleon12C,14N and16O have been determined. The discrimination of the targets has been achieved with a new method. The global results obtained for the three ions have been compared with theM-group of the cosmic radiation.
Riassunto
Si sono determinati il cammino libero medio ed i parametri d’interazione delle interazioni anelastiche in emulsioni nucleari di12C,14N e16O accelerati a 2.1 GeV/nucleone. Si è ottenuta la discriminazione dei bersagli facendo uso di un nuovo metodo. Si sono confrontati i risultati globali ottenuti per i tre ioni con il gruppoM della radiazione cosmica.
Реэюме
Определяются средняя длина свободного пробега относительно неупругого вэаимодействия и параметы фрагментации в ядерной змульсии ускоренных ионов12C,14N и16O с знергией 2.1 ГзВ/нуклон. Распоэнавание мищеней проиэводится с помошью нового метода. Было проведено сравнение глобального реэультата, полученного для трех ионов, с М группой космического иэлучения.
