Five nuclear intenactions produced by nuclei with values of charge Z = 1, 2, 6, 7, and 14 and with energies between lO/sup 12/ and lO/sup 14/ ev/nucleon are described. The angular distributions and the momentum distributions of the secondary particles produced in these jets were studied. Assuming transverse momentum to be constant, the momentum spectrum in the c.m. system in the case of each of the three jets with energies between 10/sup 13/ to 10/sup 14/ ev/nucleon was found to be of the form P/sup -2/dP. Twenty nuclear interactions produced by secondary particles arising in two of the jets which involved energies of about lO/sup 14/ ev/nucleon were also analyzed. The ratio of the number of secondary interactions produced by neutral to that produced by charged particles is found to be 0.23 plus or minus 0.15. The energies of the particles responsible for 16 of the secondary interactions were determined. The transverse momentum distribution of the secondary particles, produced in nucleon-nucleus and nucleus- nucleus collisions at approximately lO/sup 14/ ev/nucleon and emitted at small angles (i.e., belonging to the inner cone), was found to be consistent, in the cases studied, with that observed in nucleonnucleon collisions at this energy. The observations indicate that nucleon-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions at energies of about 10/sup 13/ to lO/sup 14/ ev/nucleon are, in general, similar to nucleon-nucleon collisions. (auth)
