The relationship between observed intermediate mass fragment and total charged particle multiplicities has been measured for [sup 84]Kr + [sup 197]Au collisions at energies between [ital E]/[ital A]=35 and 400 MeV. Fragment multiplicities are greatest for central or near-central collisions. For these collisions, fragment production increases up to [ital E]/[ital A][approx]100 MeV, and then decreases at higher energies.
