The cross sections da/dil for the production of fragments with charges zF =5-12 have been measured in the reaction ρ + Axx-^AF + X {Ep = 2.6-7.5 GeV in the laboratory frame of reference). The energy of the fragments was 1.2-10 MeV/ nucleon; the detection angle was 88° in the laboratory frame. The functional dependence of the cross section on the fragment charge was approximated by the function da/dQ~zF ~ TiEp\ The local minimum, which would be expected in r{Ep) according to the model of a gas-liquid phase transition, was not observed.
