Cross sections for forming [sup 24]Na and [sup 18]F by the interactions of 13.6-GeV/nucleon [sup 16]O and [sup 28]Si ions with Al and for forming [sup 24]Na in [sup 16]O interactions with Cu have been measured relative to the cross section for forming [sup 11]C from carbon. The results are generally consistent with energy-independent inclusive cross sections (limiting fragmentation) for heavy ions between [similar to]2 and 13.6 GeV/nucleon. However, comparison of the heavy-ion data with those for high-energy protons indicates a significantly weaker dependence on projectile size than that predicted by the factorization hypothesis for [sigma][sub C]([sup 11]C), [sigma][sub Al]([sup 18]F), and [sigma][sub Al]([sup 24]Na). The dependence is slightly stronger in the case of [sigma][sub Cu]([sup 24]Na).
