Differential ranges at five angles to the beam have been measured for 23 fragments, ranging from /sup 47/Ca to /sup 143/Ce, produced in the interaction of /sup 238/U with 400 GeV protons. Energy spectra obtained from the data show evidence for the presence or two components, which can be attributed to deep spallation and to fragmentation or fission. The spectra have been compared with a thermal model, used to test the two-step model of high-energy reactions, subjected to an invariant cross section analysis, and compared with the predictions of the Huefner fast breakup model.
