Abstract
We report the first account of a cluster fragmentation study involving high energy cluster-cluster collisions in which all the fragments of each colli sion occurring in the experiment are mass analyzed on an event by event bas is. This allows an unbiased look at the true nature of fragmentation includ ing a statistical analysis in terms of fluctuations in the fragment size di stribution.
