The {sup 12}C({sup 28}Si,{ital X}){sup 11}C cross section was measured for 13.4-GeV/nucleon {sup 28}Si ions. Beam intensities were determined with a two-element counter telescope, and the {sup 11}C activity induced in thin and thick plastic scintillator targets was assayed by internal scintillation counting. The cross section corrected to zero target thickness is 73.5{plus minus}3.5 mb. This value is compared with similar measurements for relativistic projectiles at 1--2 GeV/nucleon.
