BECQUEREL at the JINR Nuclotron is devoted systematic exploration of clustering features of light stable and radioactive nuclei.
The fragmentation of a large variety of light nuclei was investigated using the emulsions exposed to few A GeV nuclear beams at JINR Nuclotron. A nuclear track emulsion is used to explore the fragmentation of the relativistic nuclei.

Ion Physics Electromagnetic Dissociation
• Electromagnetic dissociation is liberation of nucleons or nuclear fragments as a result of electromagnetic field by exchange of virtual photons, rather than the strong nuclear force
• It is important for relativistic nuclear-nuclear interaction, especially where the proton number of the nucleus is large
• G4EMDissociation model and cross section are an implementation of the NUCFRG2 (NASA TP 3533) physics and treats this electromagnetic dissociation (ED).

Summary
• The possibilities of nuclear track emulsion for study of fragmentation of relativistic light nuclei is shown.
• The production of unstable 6Be in electromagnetic interactions of 7Be with emulsions nuclei is discussed.
• The most probable channels for 7Be fragmentation are overviewed.
