Cross sections and recoil properties have been measured for the fragments produced in the interaction of silver with 40 MeV/nucleon $^{14}N$ ions using off-line ${gamma}$-ray spectroscopy. The data were used to obtain the isobaric-yield distribution, the mass yield distribution, and the fractional momentum transfer. The values of forward-to-backward ratios were measured to be very large, indicating that substantial momentum transfer occurs at this energy regime. The results are compared with other studies of the interaction of silver with intermediate-energy heavy ions.
