On the mechanism of anomalous cosmic-ray nuclear interactions with photoemulsion nuclei

The mechanism of the formation of anomalous relativistic ion interactions is analysed on the basis of the modified nuclear pionisation model. Anomalous interactions are shown to occur in heavy-ion collisions at energies greater than approximately 10 GeV/nucleon. It is found that the existing selection criterion for central collisions is inapplicable in such an energy range and for heavy projectiles. It is predicted that the growth of the average transverse momentum of secondaries in central heavy-ion collisions is more rapid than that in hadron-hadron interactions.
