INELASTIC INTERACTIONS OF LI-6 NUCLEI IN EMULSION AT 4.5A GEV C AS A PROBE FOR LI-6 INTERNAL STRUCTURE/

The mean free path for inelastic interactions of Li-6 in emulsion is m easured and found not to be in systematic agreement with the different known theoretical parameterizations. This may be attributed to the lo osely bound structure of Li-6 nuclei. Possible internal structures of Li-6 nuclei are investigated via the analysis of the shower particles multiplicity distributions for inclusive and central Li-6-Em interacti ons. In this analysis the experimental P-Em, d-Em and alpha-Em data ar e used as inputs for folding the corresponding distributions for Li-6- Em interactions. The results from central collisions favour the (alpha + d) duster structure for the incident Li-6 nuclei.
