Abstract

We performed an experiment to investigate the anomalous mean-free-path phenomenon for projectile fragments of

{}^{56}{Fe}

. 1846 charge-changing collisions of fragments with charges

Z = 20 - 25

were analyzed with plastic nuclear track detectors. We observed no evidence for anomalous fragments.
