AbstractAbstract
[en] The EOS Collaboration, consisting of groups from GSI, Kent State University, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, INFN Catania, Purdue University, Texas A ampersand M, and U.C. Davis, has been interested in flow and multifragmentation for over ten years. The Purdue High Energy Nuclear Physics Group studies of proton-nucleus collisions using an internal gas jet target of heavy noble gases allowed them to accurately measure target fragment yields over a wide range of fragment mass, charge, and incident energies. A high statistics study of the fragment yield in the limiting fragmentation regime provided evidence that heavy fragments come from the simultaneous disassembly of a system somewhat lighter than the original target nucleus and nearly at rest in the laboratory. Complementary studies indicated that the missing nucleons were knocked out in a prompt first stage, leaving the excited target remnant to decay. With the development of time projection chambers (TPCs) it has become possible to reconstruct all of the charged fragments. The author reports here some preliminary results from the EOS Collaboration experiment in which they used reverse kinematics to study projectile fragmentation of 1 GeV/nucleon gold nuclei incident on a carbon target
