Nuclear breakup and particle densities in 200 A GeV - /sup 16/O interactions with emulsion nuclei
Description:
Experiment EMU-01 makes use of emulsion chambers and conventional stacks to study the interactions in matter of 200 A GeV /sup 16/O nuclei accelerated at the CERN SPS. Projectile fragmentation is compatible with such interactions of /sup 16/O nuclei at 2 A GeV, indications of limiting fragmentation. Particle production is examined via high precision pseudo-rapidity distributions. Energy densities up to about 3 GeVfm/sup 3/ are observed in central /sup 16/O + Ag(Br) interactions. Pseudo-rapidity…
