Interactions of Relativistic $^6$Li Nuclei with Photoemulsion Nuclei
Abstract
Inelastic interactions of nuclei accelerated to a momentum of 4.5 GeV/ per projectile nucleon with photoemulsion nuclei have been investigated. The main features of these interactions - mean ranges of Li nuclei, mean multiplicities of secondaries, the isotopic composition of fragments, fragmentation channels, and the mean transverse momenta of projectile fragments - have been measured. The probability of the charge-exchange reaction featuring lithium nuclei has been determined. The results obtained for the Li nucleus have been compared with data for other nuclei. The observed features of Li interactions with other nuclei indicate that the Li structure in the form of the loosely bound system consisting of an -particle and a deuteron cluster clearly manifests itself in these interactions. Events resulting in the coherent dissociation of Li nuclei into He+, He+, and and involving low-lying excitations of Li have been observed.
