✦ Synopsis

The first 4n studies of identified light-charged-particles and IMFs emitted in the p, n-+ t97Au reactions above 5 GeV/c are reported. Multiplicity and angular distributions show little sensitivity to either bombarding energy or projectile type. Excitation energy distributions obtained from data for the 4.8 GeV 3He + 197Au reaction yield values up to E" ~ 1500 MeV and E*/Aresidu e ~ 10 MeV/nucleon. Analysis of large-angle, IMF-IMF correlations for this same system suggests that multifragmentation is a fast, time-dependent process.
