Abstract
A tungsten-scintillator ionization spectrometer (1000 g/ total depth) has been exposed to 2.1-GeV/nucleon and ions at the Bevatron. Fragmentations of the incident ions could be observed in a five-layer CsI target (each layer 9 g/ thick) and in five tungstenscintillator layers (each 13 g/ thick). The number of fragmentations in each of these layers has been used to determine the total fragmentation cross sections. The Bradt-Peters overlap parameters are consistent with zero when calculated using these cross sections and a value of cm.
