Systematic experimental survey on projectile fragmentation and fission induced in collisions of U-238 at 1 A GeV with lead

Projectile fragmentation and fission, induced in collisions of U-238 at 1 A GeV with lead, have systematically been studied. A complete survey on the isotopic production cross-sections of all elements between vanadium (Z = 23 ) and rhenium (Z = 75) is given. About 900 reaction products were identifie d in the GSI fragment separator FRS from magnetic rigidities, time-of-fligh t values, and the energy loss in a ionisation chamber In addition, the mome ntum distributions of all these reaction products have been mapped, and the products are unambiguously attributed to the differ ent reaction mechanism s due to their kinematical properties. The results are compared with empiri cal systematics and precious data.
