Abstract
The binary fission cross sections measured with mica track detectors are threefold larger than with protons of 29 GeV. Ternary events are ∼ 1% of binary. With U, Bi, and Au there is little preference for emission of fragments into the forward hemisphere. There is no indication of interactions which involve large momentum transfers to heavy target nuclei from 29-GeV ions. However, with Ag targets there is evidence of significant momentum transfer.
