Coherent Dissociation ¹⁶O~rightarrow~4α in Photoemulsion at an Incident Momentum of 4.5 GeV/c per Nucleon
read the original abstract
First searches for the coherent dissociation of relativistic oxygen nuclei into four a particles are reported. It is shown that reactions of this type are characterized by a significantly lower decay temperature than the conventional multifragmentation of residual projectile nuclei. The momentum spectra and correlations of a panicles are not reproduced by the simple statistical model of direct fragmentation. The possibility that the oxygen nucleus undergoing fragmentation acquires a nonzero angular momentum in the collision process is discussed.

The $^{8}$Be nucleus and the Hoyle state in dissociation of relativistic nuclei
Relativistic nuclear dissociation in emulsion reveals increasing contributions from 8Be(0+), 9B, and 12C Hoyle state with higher alpha multiplicity, consistent with cluster fusion.
