We report the results on partial production cross sections for Z=2 projectile fragments emitted in 28Si-emulsion interactions at 3.7 A GeV. Scaling behaviour of the multiplicity distribution of Z=2 PFs has been checked. The emission angle of Z=2 PFs has been measured and pseudorapidity distributions for these PFs have been obtained. We observe that the value of momentum spread σ(p) for Z=2 PFs grows with increasing mass number of the projectile. The emission of Z=2 PFs is consistent with a single source with an excitation energy of about 8.9 MeV. The data has been compared with available data reported for lighter as well as heavier projectiles at the same and/or different energies.
