Measurement of Mutual Coulomb Dissociation insNN=130GeVAu+AuCollisions
2002
Physical Review Letters
We report on the first measurement of Mutual Coulomb Dissociation in heavy ion collisions. We employ forward calorimeters to measure neutron multiplicity at beam rapidity in peripheral collisions. The cross-section for simultaneous electromagnetic breakup of Au nuclei at √(s_NN)=130 GeV is σ_MCD=3.67± 0.25 barns in good agreement with calculations.
