Study of number of black prongs in two generations of nuclear interactions in photoemulsion irradiated by 72GeV 22Ne

Interactions of relativistic heavy ions in thick heavy element targets and some unresolved problems

“…To our knowledge, this appears to be a new aspect in the experimental study of heavy-ion interactions in nuclear emulsions. It will be introduced into our discussions andˇrst results will be presented [13].…”

“…First results have been published elsewhere [13] and will be quoted here. The total of 230 observedˇrst nuclear interactions gave an average number of black prongs per event:…”

Further Studies of BURSTS and Spallation in High-Energy Heavy Ion Reactions

“…Thus in experiments some fraction of the grey tracks may have been labelled as black or vice versa, as also mentioned in Refs. [6] and [7]. At present, we cannot vote in favor of any of the above mentioned two scenarios.…”
