Fragmentation cross sections of sup 16 O between 0. 9 and 200 GeV/nucleon

Inclusive cross sections for high energy interactions at 0.9, 2.3, 3.6, and 13.5 GeV/nucleon of {sup 16}O with C, CR-39 (C{sub 12}H{sub 18}O{sub 7}), CH{sub 2}, Al, Cu, Ag, and Pb targets were measured. The total charge-changing cross sections and partial charge-changing cross sections for the production of fragments with charge {ital Z}=6 and {ital Z}=7 are compared to previous experiments at 60 and 200 GeV/nucleon. The contributions of Coulomb dissociation to the total cross sections are calculated. Using factorization rules the partial electromagnetic cross sections are separated from the nuclear components. Energy dependence of both components are investigated and discussed.
