Abstract
New experimental data on the multifragmentation of carbon nuclei that is initiated by the photoproduction of neutral pions and eta mesons are discussed. The novelty is associated with the exclusive character of the processes being studied, in which case a determination of partial meson-photoproduction reactions is followed by an analysis of complementary particles for coincidence. The experiment being discussed was performed by the GRAAL (GRenoble Accelerateur Anneau Laser) Collaboration in a beam of 500- to 1500-MeV Compton photons. The possibility of performing new experiments within the BGO-OD Collaboration (Bonn, Germany) is considered. A new method for studying the interaction of short-lived mesons with nuclei on the basis of detecting cascade recoil nucleons is proposed.
