Abstract
The full destruction (FD, that implies the disintegration into singly and doubly charged fragments only) characteristics are presented for some light nuclei ( 6 12 C, 8 16 O, 10 22 Ne, and 14 28 Si) with an energy of 3.7A GeV and heavy projectiles 79 197 Au (10.7A GeV) and 82 208 Pb (158A GeV) interacting with target nuclei in a photoemulsion. It is shown that (i) the average number of fragments, the realization of various fragmentation channels, and the degree of crushing for light projectiles substantially depend on the charge of a residual nucleus and on the mass of a target nucleus; (ii) the FD probability for residual nuclei with the same charge, as well as the multiplicity of fragments for the same impact parameter of heavy nuclei, are independent of the energy; and (iii) the integral distribution of transverse momenta of doubly charged fragments is described by two exponents (the logarithmic plot exhibits a break).
