We present a systematic analysis on the helium projectile fragments produced from 10.6 A GeV197Auemulsion interactions in an experiment conducted at the Brookhaven AGS. Total charge changing and partial production cross-sections are measured experimentally on the basis of helium multiplicity. The multiplicity distribution of helium fragments which are produced collectively obey a KNO scaling. The transverse momentum distribution of these particles indicates that they are produced from two different independent sources.

THE TOTAL CHARGE CHANGING CROSS-SECTION WAS DETERMINED FROM THE INTERACTION MEAN FREE PATH OF NUCLEAR INTERACTIONS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE DENSITY OF ATOMS IN EMULSION.
