Abstract
We use a binary sequential decay model in order to describe the fragmentati on of a nucleus induced by the high energy collisions of protons with Au nu clei. Overall agreement between measured and calculated physical observable s is obtained. We evaluate and analyse the decay times obtained with two di fferent parametrisations of the decay rates and discuss the applicability o f the model to high energy fragmentation.
