First searches for the coherent dissociation of relativistic oxygen nuclei into four a particles are reported. It is shown that reactions of this type are characterized by a significantly lower decay temperature than the conventional multifragmentation of residual projectile nuclei. The momentum spectra and correlations of a panicles are not reproduced by the simple statistical model of direct fragmentation. The possibility that the oxygen nucleus undergoing fragmentation acquires a nonzero angular momentum in the collision process is discussed.

The transverse-momentum distributions and correlation characteristics of relativistic $alpha$ particles from the coherent dissociation of a carbon nucleus into three $alpha$ particles at 4.5 GeV/$c$ are studied in lead-enriched emulsion. Comparative analysis of data obtained in ordinary and lead-enriched emulsion stacks is performed. It is shown that the statistical model of rapid fragmentation does not describe the momentum and correlation characteristics of a $alpha$ particles in the rest frame of the carbon nucleus. The estimated decay temperature of $^{12}$C is weakly dependent on the target atomic mass. It is shown that the carbon nucleus undergoing fragmentation acquires angular momentum in the collision.
The charge topology in the fragmentation of $^{10}$C nuclei in a track nuclear emulsion at an energy of 1.2 GeV per nucleon is studied. In the coherent dissociation of $^{10}$C nuclei, about 82% of events are associated with the channel $^{10}$C $rightarrow$ 2$alpha +$ 2emph{p}. The angular distributions and correlations of product fragments are presented for this channel. It is found that among $^{10}$C $rightarrow$ 2$alpha +$ 2emph{p} events, about 30% are associated with the process in which dissociation through the ground state of the unstable $^9$Be$_{g.s.}$ nucleus is followed by $^8$Be$_{g.s.} +$ emph{p} decays.
A new resonance structure at M = 355 pm 6 pm 9 MeV is observed in the invariant mass spectrum of two gamma-quanta produced in the reaction d + C => gamma + gamma + x at momentum 2.75 GeV/c per nucleon. Preliminary estimates of its width and cross section are Gamma = 41 pm 12 MeV and sigma_{gamma-gamma} = 0.6 mkb. The collected statistics is 2680 pm 310 events of 1.5 10^6 triggered interactions of a total number 3 10^{12} dC-interactions.
Charged particle multiplicities from high multiplicity central interactions of 158 GeV/nucleon Pb ions with Pb target nuclei have been measured in the central and far forward projectile spectator regions using emulsion chambers. Multiplicities are significantly lower than predicted by Monte Carlo simulations. We examine the shape of the pseudorapidity distribution and its dependence on centrality in detail.
The elastic scattering $^{16}$O$+^{12}$C angular distributions at $^{16}$O bombarding energies of 100.0, 115.9 and 124.0 MeV and their optical model description including the $alpha$-particle exchange contribution calculated in the Coupled Reaction Channel approach are presented. The angular distributions show not only the usual diffraction pattern but also, at larger angles, intermediate structure of refractive origin on which finer oscillations are superimposed. The large angle features can be consistently described including explicitly the elastic $alpha$-transfer process and using a refractive optical potential with a deep real part and a weakly absorptive imaginary part.
