Summary
This work presents a special type of interactions produced in emulsion targets exposed to different incident beams of light ions at a few GeV per nucleon. The events characterised by multifragment break-up of the projectile nucleus which are produced via peripheral collisions or due to the effect of the Coulomb field of the target nucleus have been selected. The size of the impact parameter must be considered for determining the type of the interaction. The results are compared with other collected data at energies up to 200 GeV/nucleon. The dependence of electromagnetic dissociation cross-section on the incident projectile energy is investigated. Also, a comparison of the experimental data with the assumed virtual-photon spectrum using Weizsacker-Williams (WW) method is made.
