Abstract
Radiochemical activation techniques were used to study the behavior of projectile fragments formed in the interaction of 44 GeV ions within thick Cu targets. After a short review of the results obtained hitherto with this Cu-target technique, the interaction of 44 GeV with several copper target configurations yielding the deep spallation product is described. Energetic fragments which are emitted into the laboratory angles 10°≤θ≤45° appear to produce more (up to nearly one order of magnitude) than calculated with a phenomenological model and an intranuclear cascade model. This enhanced production of by wide-angle secondaries is only observed for 44 GeV on copper, but not for 25 GeV on copper. Some normalization experiments with 4 GeV and 2.6 GeV p are described.
