In a 1990 run at the LBL Bevalac the authors exposed targets of Li, polyethelene, C, Al, Cu, Sn and Pb to beams of Ag and Kr nuclei having several energies between 1.5 and 0.5 GeV/n. The incident nuclei and the fragments produced in the targets were detected in an array of ion chambers, Cherenkov counters and multiwire proportional counters. Total cross sections for charge changing, and partial cross sections for fragment production and for charge pickup, were determined for interactions of all beams in all targets at several different energies. The total cross sections have been compared with the predictions of the relationships derived previously for heavier beams interacting in a more limited range of targets. A revised relationship will be proposed. The partial cross sections for fragment production have been compared with the predictions of the parametric fit derived previously. Similarly the cross sections for charge pickup have been compared with previous results. The dependence of these various cross sections on the target and energy will be discussed.
