TL;DR: The fragment distributions resulting from Au+Au collisions at an incident energy of {ital E}/{ital A}=600 MeV and the mass and the excitation energy of the decaying prefragments were determined.

TL;DR: In this article, the ALADIN forward-spectrometer at SIS was extended with an array of 84 SiCsI(Tl) telescopes and the solid-angle coverage of the setup was extended to 16°.

TL;DR: Calculations using the Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck model suggest that the fragmentation is governed by the energy deposited into the projectile spectator and that {l angle} reaches its maximum around {ital E}{sub dep}{congruent}8 MeV/nucleon.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the Z-bound universality of spectator fragmentation with the ALADIN forward-spectrometer at SIS and found that the universal properties should persist up to much higher bombarding energies than explored in this work and that they are consistent with universal features exhibited by the intranuclear cascade and statistical multifragmentation models.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the ALADIN forward-spectrometer at SIS to study multi-fragment decays of 197 Au projectiles after collisions with C, Al, Cu and Pb targets at a bombarding energy of 600 MeV.
