Abstract
The spectra of Be-8(gs) fragments emitted in the interaction of 100, 200, 3 00 and 400 MeV C-12 With Co-59, Nb-93 and Au-197 have been measured and ana lysed. Our analysis suggests that, before breaking up, C-12 may suffer a co nsiderable energy loss which increases with increasing incident energy. The amount of excitation energy provided to the target nucleus in this process increases with decreasing charge of the target nucleus.
