Energy flow and stopping in relativistic heavy-ion collisions at E sub lab / A =14. 6 GeV

Collisions of {sup 28}Si+Al, Cu, Pb at {ital E}{sub lab}/{ital A}=14.6 GeV were studied in a calorimetry-based experiment at the BNL Alternating Gradient Synchrotron. Transverse-energy production was measured for pseudorapidities {minus}0.5{lt}{eta}{lt}0.8. Correlations with the spectra and multipli...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Collisions of {sup 28}Si+Al, Cu, Pb at {ital E}{sub lab}/{ital A}=14.6 GeV were studied in a calorimetry-based experiment at the BNL Alternating Gradient Synchrotron. Transverse-energy production was measured for pseudorapidities {minus}0.5{lt}{eta}{lt}0.8. Correlations with the spectra and multiplicity of neutrons and protons emitted into a forward 0.8{degree} cone demonstrate quantitatively the large amount of nuclear stopping observed in these reactions. Calculations in hadronic-fireball or nucleon-nucleon based models underpredict the measured transverse-energy production for Si+Pb and indicate the need to include rescattering of secondaries and /or contributions from target fragmentation.
