| Abstract | The calculation of the isotopic production cross sections from high energy heavy ion reactions has proceeded along two divergent paths. From the regi.-ne of relativistic heavy ion reactions comes the abrasion-atlation model which is dependent on the quick nature of these collisions and the separation of the reactant nuclei into participants and spectators. From the intermediate energy regime comes the intranuclear cascade model where the reaction is treated as a sum of nucleon-nucleon scattering events inside a nuclear potential well. Both frame works are able to treat projectile as well as target fragmenta tion. In this presentation ths results of both model calcula tions will be compared to recent experimental data for the fragmentation of 213 MeV/A Ar projectiles by C nuclei and 209 for the fragmentation of Bi target nuclei by a 400 MeV/A on Ne beam. These comparisons show the importance of the statis tical decay process in determining the distribution of final products as well as the deficiencies of the two models. |
