Abstract

We have investigated the interactions of 1 A GeV 56Fe in nuclear emulsion. We measured the charge and the angular distributions of single and multiple charged relativistic particles emitted from peripheral interactions. We investigate a possible new method of separating interactions of electromagnetic origin. We provide the values of several parameters evaluated in a sample selected using the classical method, and the method proposed in this paper.
