Target fragment energies and momenta in the reaction of 4. 8 GeV /sup 12/C and 5. 0 GeV /sup 20/Ne with /sup 238/U

Target fragment recoil properties were measured using the thick-target--thick-catcher technique for the interaction of 4.8 GeV /sup 12/C and 5.0 GeV /sup 20/Ne with /sup 238/U. The target fragment energies and momenta are very similar for the reaction of 4.8 GeV (400 MeV/nucleon) /sup 12/C and 5.0 GeV (250 MeV/nucleon) /sup 20/Ne with /sup 238/U. In the complex variation of fragment momenta with their N/Z ratio, one finds evidence suggesting the existence of several mechanisms leading to the formation of the target fragments. Comparison of these results with the predictions of the intranuclear cascade model of Yariv and Fraenkel and the firestreak model shows that both model predictions grossly overestimate the target fragment momenta.
