Abstract
We present the results of the study of interaction of the relativistic 6Li
nucleus with the momentum 4.5 GeV/c per nucleon with the photoemulsion. Yields
of the 1H (3He) and 2H (4He) isotopes due to the
fragmentation of 6Li are found to be almost equal. Cross sections for the
charge exchange and pickup reactions are found to be mb.
The distributions of the fragment transverse momenta projected onto the emulsion
plane are used to obtain the nucleon Fermi momentum of 6Li, PF, this
value being equal to
MeV/c. The high momentum component in the
transverse momentum distributions of 3He and 4He isotopes is observed.
