Experimental results on peripheral fragmentation of relativistic 11B nuclei are presented. In the experiment the emulsions exposured to 11B beam with momentum 2.75 A GeV/c at the JINR Nuclotron are used. The relative probability of various fragmentation channels for nucleus breakups (class A) and more violent peripheral interactions (class B) have been determined. For classes under investigations the sum of the fragment charges in narrow forward cone is equal to the projectile charge, but in the events of class A there are no secondary particles and in the events of class B there are. In both classes the main channels is 11B→2He+X: 62% and 50%, corresponding. The main channel 11B→2(Zfr=2)+(Zfr=1) was investigated in details. Momentum measurements of single-charged fragments have been done to determine number of p, d and t in the channel. This way it was found that the ratio Np : Nd : Nt is about 1:1:1 for 11B nuclei dissociation and about 15:5:1 for peripheral interactions of 11B nuclei.
