Mean ranges and forward-to-backward ratios have been determined by the thick-target, thick-catcher technique for fragments from the interaction of 13.6-GeV/nucleon {sup 16}O with copper. Experimental data are analyzed in terms of a two-step model and results are discussed in the context of limiting fragmentation and factorization and the predictions of a simple model for momentum transfer. Momenta imparted in the initial interactions of 13.6-GeV/nucleon {sup 16}O were inferred to be {similar to}12% lower than those for fragmentation of Cu by high-energy protons.
