Abstract
The 200GeV/u sulfur beam available at CERN was used to bombard a 1.5 mg/cm Au target. Light nuclei were detected at 60° in the laboratory using a silicon telescope. The shape of the inclusive atomic number distribution of intermediate mass fragments with an atomic numberZ ≥ 2 looks different from the one measured on theO +Au system at the same bombarding energy.
