Fission induced by relativistic /sup 14/N ions was compared with that induced by GeV protons. Although binary fission cross sections are considerably greater with /sup 14/N, most of the increases can be attributed to the larger total reaction cross sections sigma/subR/. Ternary fission cross sections increase almost twofold beyond the increases in sigma/subR/. With the highest energy /sup 14/N used, 2.1 GeV/nucleon, very little momentum was transferred to the target nuclei in either fission or nonfission events (unpaired tracks); but with the 0.14- and 0.28-GeV/nucleon projectiles there is evidence of considerable transfer in both types of processes. Measurements were made with mica and Lexan track detectors. The results are related to other recent high-energy heavy-ion data obtained by various techniques. (AIP)
