Target fragmentation in proton and heavy-ion induced reactions at high energies

Results on pseudorapidity distributions, azimuthal correlations, and on two particle interferometry for identified protons and pions measured in the target fragmentation region of high energy proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions are presented. Full participation of the whole target nucleus is observed even for 200 GeV p + Au collisions. Incorporation of strong rescattering phenomena into string models, including pion absorption effects in excited target matter, provides a good description of most experimental data.
