Abstract
Experimental data on the multifragmentation of residual nuclei produced in the krypton interactions with photoemulsion nuclei at 0.9 GeV per projectile nucleon are presented and compared with similar data on fragmentation from experiments where gold nuclei of energy 10.7 GeV per nucleon appear as projectiles. It is shown for the first time that there exist two modes of nuclear multifragmentation, those where less (first mode) or more (second mode) than half of nucleons are knocked out of the incident nucleus. Residual nuclei that have close masses and which are produced in various reactions accompanied by the knock-on of more than half of nucleons of the initial nucleus fragment in nearly the same way. In addition, evidence for a radial flux of spectator fragments is obtained for the first time in the decay of residual nuclei of krypton projectiles.
