Abstract: (APS)
An α-cluster expansion of the Glauber multiple scattering series is used to calculate the energy transfer spectrum to the C12 projectile in the C12(12C,3α)X reaction at 2.1A Gev. Cluster-abrasion response functions are defined in terms of α-cluster wave function and the collision dynamics appropriate for heavy-ion reactions. Comparisons are made to recent quasiexclusive experimental data with good agreement found. Calculations indicate that substructures in a C12 projectile are likely to be true spectators in fragmentation, however, with virtual states of excitation in the projectile ground state making a significant contribution to the fragmentation cross section.
