Description

High-energy heavy-ion reaction data on pion production near theta/sub lab/ = 00 and 1800 are analyzed. The result strongly suggests that the forward (backward) pions are due to materialization of the kinetic energy of the ''effective projectiles'' (''effective targets'') in peripheral nucleus-nucleus collisions. A statistical interpretation for the observed energy distributions is discussed
