Coulomb dissociation of relativistic /sup 12/C and /sup 16/O nuclei

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
The dissociation of relativistic /sup 12/C and /sup 16/O nuclei by the Coulomb fields of target nuclei has been inferred from the systematics of cross-section data. Coulomb contributions to the total fragmentation cross sections are interpreted by the Weizscker-Williams method. The minimum-impact parameters deduced by this method are characterized by radial overlap distances comparable to the charge-skin thicknesses of the interacting nuclei, compatible with the effects of nuclear absorption.
