Abstract
Using an abrasion-ablation collision model, which includes contributions from frictional-spectator interactions and electromagnetic dissociation, analyses of the sensitivities of predicted fragmentation cross sections to the choice of a particular abrasion formalism are made using both geometric and optical potential abrasion models. Most cross section differences obtained using the two abrasion models are less than the present experimental uncertainties, suggesting that either abrasion model is suitable for estimating isotopic and elemental fragment distributions.
