Abstract
Fragment energy spectra from the 2.1- and 4.9-GeV proton irradiation of C, Al, Ag, and U targets were measured at several angles to the beam for products ranging from He up to Ar for the heavier targets. The fragments were detected in a telescope consisting of a gas counter and a silicon counter. The carbon target measurements are compared with previous data from projectile fragmentation studies. A Maxwellian type functional form which fits the energy spectra from all the targets is presented. The spectra were integrated to obtain values of the cross section as a function of atomic number.
