Fragmentation Cross Sections of 158AGeV Pb Projectiles

We investigate the fragmentation cross sections of 158AGeV²⁰⁷Pb projectile interacting with different targets using CR39 nuclear track detectors. The exposure is made at SPS beam facility of CERN. The detectors are chemically etched to obtain data in the form of etched cone length. The nuclear and electromagnetic contributions to the measured total charge-changing cross sections are investigated. The estimated results are compared with those found in the literature for similar research work.
