Limiting fragmentation in oxygen-induced emulsion interactions at 14. 6, 60, and 200 GeV/nucleon

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
Pseudorapidity distributions of relativistic singly charged particles in oxygen-induced emulsion interactions at 14.6, 60, and 200 GeV/nucleon are studied. Limiting fragmentation behavior is observed in both the target and projectile fragmentation regions for a central as well as for a minimum-bias sample. Comparisons with the fritiof model reveal that the picture of fragmenting strings successfully describes the observed data.
