Abstract

We report on measurements by the E864 experiment at the BNL-AGS of the yields of light nuclei in collisions of 197Au with beam momentum of 11.5A GeV/c on targets of 208Pb and 197Pt. The yields are reported for nuclei with baryon number A = 1 up to A = 7, and typically cover a rapidity range from yc.m. to yc.m. + 1 and a transverse momentum range of approximately 0.1≤pT/A≤0.5 GeV/c. We calculate coalescence scale factors BA from which we extract model-dependent source dimensions and collective flow velocities. We also examine the dependences of the yields on baryon number, spin, and isospin of the produced nuclei.
