Abstract: (Elsevier)

We present our experimental data for relative isotopic yields of nuclear fragments in high energy proton-nucleus collisions. When nuclear fragmentation is assumed to be droplet formation in a system near the critical point, the relative isotopic yields of 60 nuclear fragments in the mass range 12⩽ A f ⩽31 can be described by a simple thermodynamic model.
