INTERACTION MEAN FREE PATH OF He PROJECTILE FRAGMENTS FROM ¹⁶O-EM COLLISION AT 60 A GeV

The interaction mean free path of He projectile fragments, produced by the collisions of ¹⁶O at 60 A GeV in a nuclear emulsion, has been investigated. In the present analysis, 1555 He projectile fragments, giving rise to 320 secondary interactions, have been used. At a level of 3% a very weak signal of anomalons is observed, which comes mainly from the 3×He channel.
