Multifragmentation in Collisions of 4.4gev-Deuterons with Gold Target
The relative velocity correlation function of pairs of intermediate mass
fragments has been studied for d+Au collitions at 4.4 GeV. Experimental
correlation functions are compared to that obtained by multibody Coulomb
trajectory calculations under the assumption of various decay timees of the
fragmenting system. The combined approach with the empirically modified
intranuclear cascade code followed by the statistical multifragmentation model
was used to generate the starting conditions for these calculations. The
fragment emossion time is found to be less than 40 fm/c.Comment: Accepted for publication in Bulletin of the Russian Academy of

Electromagnetic dissociation of relativistic B nuclei in nuclear track emulsion
Experimental data on fragmentation channels in peripheral interactions of
B nuclei in nuclear track emulsions are presented. A detailed analysis made
it possible to justify selections of events of the electromagnetic-dissociation
process B Be + \emph{p} and to estimate its cross section. Events of
C peripheral dissociation that were observed in the same exposure are
described.Comment: 12 pages, 10 figures, 4 tables, Published in

Fragmentation of relativistic nuclei in peripheral interactions in nuclear track emulsion
The technique of nuclear track emulsions is used to explore the fragmentation
of light relativistic nuclei down to the most peripheral interactions - nuclear
"white" stars. A complete pattern of therelativistic dissociation of a B
nucleus with target fragment accompaniment is presented. Relativistic
dissociation Be is explored using significant statistics and
a relative contribution of Be decays from 0 and 2 states is
established. Target fragment accompaniments are shown for relativistic
fragmentation N3He+H and Ne5He. The leading role of the
electromagnetic dissociation on heavy nuclei with respect to break-ups on
target protons is demonstrated in all these cases. It is possible to conclude
that the peripheral dissociation of relativistic nuclei in nuclear track
emulsion is a unique tool to study many-body systems composed of lightest
nuclei and nucleons in the energy scale relevant for nuclear astrophysics.Comment: 15 pages, 4 figures, 4 tables, conference: Relativistic nuclear
