2550 interactions of 12 C in emulsion at 4.5 A GeV / c have been used to study the properties of projectile fragments. The multiplicity and projected angular distributions of projectile fragments in different target groups have been studied. The production cross section of the reaction in which projectile 12 C breaks up into two Z = 3 fragments is found to be 6.6 × 10 −3 of the total inelastic cross section. The projected angular distributions of fragments exhibit features of limiting fragmentation. Statistically significant azimuthal correlations among fragments in the azimuthal plane indicates that the fragmenting nucleus gets a transverse momentum during the collision.
